Society Hotel is a wonderful place to stay. I met lovely humans because of the communal atmosphere of this hotel. I stayed in the bunk room where guests were friendly and respectful. As a female, solo traveler, I wouldn’t hesitate to book your stay here. As far as location goes, it’s right next to downtown which is fantastic for walking to fun locations such as the farmers markets, nightlife, food trucks, the chinese garden, and plenty of 3rd wave coffee. However, you are going to interact with people experiencing homelessness. This wasn’t something that intimidated me, but it is worth noting for those wondering. The Society Hotel uses precautions to keep their guests safe such as a locked campus at all times and key-card entry into anywhere in the building. I appreciate the warmth of the staff and their willingness to help with whatever I needed.
