Pros:
- Good location, but definitely need a car if you want to go to downtown area, u-district, cap hill
- some nice amenities (disposable individually-packed face masks, fridge, very soft towels)
- bed was HUUGE and couch was comfy enough
- check-in and check-out was SUPER easy and intuitive (everything is done with passcode! love it!)
- Parking was fairly easy to find even though it was street parking only
Cons (please keep in mind that I have a super high standard for cleanliness, so this is mostly for those nitpicky people like me):
- while it is true that the place gets a ton of natural light, it's because it is a ground level, street facing studio that almost seemed like it was a restaurant or office converted into a living space. two walls are all windows covered by blackout curtains, and there's actually a door to the to streetside that I don't think you're supposed to use, but its there. my boyfriend and I always kept the curtains closed because we didn't want people on the street to see us changing... it was a bit unnerving
- doesn't seem like the windows are double-paned so if you're a light sleeper, you will most likely wake up due to the sound of traffic and cars whizzing by
- things just seemed very well-used, which made me question cleanliness and how sanitary this place was. The pleather headboard was peeling all over and little flecks would get on the sheets. The soap dispensers looks dirty inside the nozzle and on the outside (at this point i would just get the cheap soaps and replace them more often). There was a kind of fuzzy bathmat that was pretty matted (though i'm sure it was washed, it looked like it had seen better days)
- the sheets didn't smell all too nice.. in fact a little musty, but it did feel clean just didn't smell clean
- not really something that anyone can control, but there were some gnarly spiders and bugs in there
This place has good reviews for cleanliness, so (again) maybe I just have high standards, but both my boyfriend and I were pretty disappointed for all the reasons listed above. Didn't really seem worth the price..
