My less than excellent is about checking in. I was not emailed with check in info so stuck outside the door with no one answering the phone. It took too much time and effort to find out how to resolve this. When you don’t have an email for a customer, you should take other actions to eliminate frustrated customers trying to figure what to do.

The room itself was clean. The restroom doesn’t have any ventilation so a warm shower will fog up the entire room. The visual aesthetics were more exciting than other hotels. It’s located right infront of the park. Everything was walking distance. The exterior of the location wasn’t too nice since the nightlife people leave their trace behind. There was easy access parking. The elevators were not working when we arrive but they promptly fixed it when we left. The communication was fast and easy. Check in was easy, access to enter was easy. Interior was beautiful and exciting. I recommend staying on the second floor because we heard everyone walking around all night for the entire stay. I also recommend bringing your own blankets and pillows for comfort, their blankets are simple sheets and it gets cold at night. Overall it was a pleasant stay.

Invisible staffing has its ups and downs. Getting in was definitely an understated adventure/challenge but we also happened to check in on a farmer’s market night and naturally the farmer’s market is right in front of the hotel and parking lot. Overall good spot, but not for the tech-unsavvy.

The property itself was nice. Our room was beautiful and comfortable. It was quiet. The thing I didn’t like is there are no on-site staff. No front desk workers. The information from the hotel called it “invisible service.” Here’s an example. The we were unable to connect to the wi-fi. In the check-in information email, it said if there is trouble with the wi-fi, you should call their internet service provider, and they gave the company name and number. So, I called and the technician was asking me questions I didn’t know the answers to, as if I were an employee of the hotel. I texted the number that was provided for general service requests and received a kind response, but no offer of help. “Try connecting again and hopefully that will work.”

It was a clean and quiet place. There is no on site staff. Had to call the call box upon check in. Felt really uncomfortable to say all my personal information out loud including Name, address, phone number and credit card info. Specially I was checking in at night. Everyone can hear.
