Liked: Cleanliness
The building has several areas, all under the ‘424’ brand/ownership. Directly underneath my room, in another part of the building owned by the same people, construction was happening ALL NIGHT. literal jackhammers were going off throughout the night. The owners must have authorized this construction to occur and to do so overnight when there are guests staying shows how little they care. There was a small hole in the floor so all the noise came straight through and sounded like I was in the room with it.

There are some things that need improvement, but the staff seems to be trying to fix problems as they occur. I'll probably have to go back in the future to see what progress they have made

Highly unprofessional property manager. There was an individual, who stayed in the dorm introduced himself as working for the owner, was harassing the guests and I felt unsafe in his presence during my stay. Staff did not care after the feedback. If you are a solo female traveler, stay away.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
For our needs, STAY was great. It was affordable and walkable to The Salt Shed, our reason for visiting. Business-friendly seems like a stretch unless you’re working in a private room on your bed. Keep in mind that since the kitchen has quiet hours until 8a, you won’t be able to prepare food there beforehand if that’s when your work hours begin. Personally, I wouldn’t feel comfortable working more than sending a few emails as there’s no real dedicated space.

I enjoyed my "STAY"! The covering for the dormitory bunk bead wa nice for privacy. The bed was clean. The other guest were extremely welcoming and pleasant. I'm reserving again already.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very easy to check in, never even met anyone from the property. It's all done with codes and the instructions were very clear. I think the only thing I didn't like is that I was charged extra on the day of the check in and I wasn't aware I'll need to also pay for a "cleaning fee" and some tax that I had to send over PayPal.

It’s a budget-friendly place to stay with a convenient location and public transportation within walking distance. However, in terms of cleanliness, I requested a bedsheet and towel change for four consecutive nights, and although I was told it would be done, it never was.
