"Would not spend over $100 a night here again"

6.0

Bed was super comfy, room was clean, cute style, good water pressure. Shampoos, soap and lotion were nice.

If the bright street light through the very thin window shade doesn't keep you awake, the constant trains passing by and sounding their horns will. The bathroom sink fixture was also a poor choice and water goes everywhere but in the tiny sink and faucet was super loose. Also there is no reception desk.You're suppose to go straight to your room and have a code sent to your phone but mine never came. Called for help and the code they gave me didnt work so it took about an hour for someone to fix it for me before I could enter my room. Finally got in a little past midnight.

"Great stay"

10.0

Clean and close to CP.

The property is close to train tracks. It can be a little annoying at night. We just bring a box fan now to drown out the noise.

"Exceptional"

9.0

I loved the system for checking in and out. It was a form you do through a link they send you, so before you even get there you'll receive the room number and code.So by the time we did arrive we could just plop into our room after travelling all day. The bed and amenities were also very nice!

The only compliant I really have is that there was no table to eat on, so we had to eat on the bed. Which isn't the end of the world, especially for the price and such for the room, but it would have been nice if there had been at least a small table, or something like trays we could put our food on.

"Great space for the price!"

7.0

I loved not having to physically check in, especially since we were in the theme park and weren’t sure when we’d leave the park. The space was great. And the theming was cute.

The light fixture in the kitchen/bedroom hangs too low.

"Cute Retreat"

9.0

The room was cute & perfect for what we intended to use it for.. to lay our heads.. My family enjoyed the outdoor amenities (corn hole, ladder golf) and green space. The walking path behind was great for an evening stroll. We had a small hiccup with our room code not working, but it was fixed quickly & easily! Great customer service.

The only downfall was the train nearby that continuously passes at all hours day & night, but that was stated in the listing, so I sort of expected it. The bunk bed was quite rustic with many boards a splinter hazard and it was very creaky. It was also super close to the ceiling. The placing of the lights next to the beds were at risk of being knocked off or easily damaged.

"Okay for a short stay"

6.0

Loved the location, the ease of checkin and checkout, the thoughtfulness of the simple design and having a fridge and Keurig machine.

The cleanliness was not a high standard- just ok. The area with the fridge had sticky stuff all over door handle and the countertops. So we cleaned it ourselves. The floors weren't cleaned at all. Debris from outside and dirt everywhere and carpet not clean. The bed sheets and pillowcases were clean, but had lots of random stains not removed by washing, so it gave a less than nice appearance. The air conditioning worked okay and only on a much colder temp than we'd ever use and it was very humid in the room. The water in the bathroom had a bad taste, even though we only used it to brush our teeth. We used filtered water for the coffee machine.
