+ The rooms were nice inside

- The location is sketchy and the main entrance was accessible to the public along with the cheap doors made it too risky to stay. Also was met with a mess directly in front of my door,so I had to make other accommodations and leave. The code also did not work, but after trying a few codes with someone on the phone, I was eventually able to access the rooms.

+ Nothing.

- Toenails everywhere, which they never came to clean during our stay. Dirty towels that appeared used and all in all a terrible place and terrible host that does not know how to run a hostel.

+ The location had no onsite parking when asked all management said first come first serve. There was only 2 spaces available. I had to ask and give them $20 just for me to park on their lawn. Furthermore there was no breakfast provided. Staff kept us up all night with a fire alarm blaring at 3 am. And management was asking me to move a car that was blocking the drive way that want even mine to begin with.

- Honestly the service was horrible I would never stay here again. There is nothing but the room to look for. Mirrors were half ass when cleaned. Update it has been 4 days since I stayed at the place. The management has called me asking me to take down my review. His name is Alex he says he wants to do right but will only give me $50 when the room costed $120 and I had to pay an extra $20 for parking. This is crazy!!!!

- It was the worst experience i have ever had with booking. I spent hours to complain about situation and they could not help at all with the situation. I am absolutely suspicious about other comments since their comments are not reflecting the reality. They have many problems: 1. No respect for guests. They easily changed details of listing. They have absolutely nothing there. I asked for hangers many times which is cheap and easy to be prepared. They do not have even iron! There is no parking in the area and you might end up searching hours for a parking at nights! 2. The neighborhood is horrible and seems not safe! 3. It was not clean as it should be also. 4. The balcony’s door was broken and they did not even try to fix it for us. I have had many other experiences in all over the world and this is ranked as the worst one.

+ כמעט כלום.

- הצילום של החדר מטעה. החדר קטן. המקום והרהיטים די חדשים, אבל לחץ המים במקלחת חלש מאוד. היו רק שתי מגבות קטנות ודקות לכל החדר. לא היה ממי לבקש עוד. במטבח המשותף לכמה חדרים יש מכונת קפה אך ללא קפה. אין חניה ברחוב. נאלצנו להמתין המון זמן עד שהצלחנו למצוא משהו. הסביבה כולה לא מאוד נחמדה. כדי להגיע עוברים באיזור מפוקפק וחברים מקומיים הזהירו אותנו שלא נעז להסתובב שם בלילה. הוילון בחדר צר ולא ניתן לסגור ממש עד הסוף, אז בבוקר אור ראשון כבר העיר אותנו.

+ It was clean and nice.

- There was no blanket given to me and I was asking about the heater in the room but the property did not reply. It was too cold in the room, sleepless nights.

+ Bed was comfy

- They had other guests at the same time that were terribly rude and obnoxious. There is no way for the renters to control them because they were offsite. Also, no air conditioning in room as advertised. No TV in room. The front door code never worked. The website was most definitely wrong. There was no parking. Someone parked on the grass right outside our broken screen window. This was undoubtedly the worst stay I have had. I will definitely choose an actual hotel next time.

+ The location and street food near by.

- Noise levels are terrible. The space feels like it doesn’t get fairly treated. It’s missing a towel rack and a hand towel. The space felt dirty, especially the bathroom.

+ It was nice and comfortable overall.

- The Hosts were kinda bickering a lot and that made it a bit hard to sleep at night or sleep in during the morning times.

+ The room itself was fine in terms of size and cleanliness.

- I’m not happy with this stay and I would not recommend it. The room itself was fine in terms of size and cleanliness; nothing special, just normal, no complaints there. However, the location was a major issue for us. Parking is completely impossible. We spent more than 30 minutes trying to find a place to park, and on the second day we had no choice but to pay for a parking garage. Additionally, the area is not nice and feels unsafe. We were genuinely uncomfortable and ended up leaving the car in a safer place and taking an Uber back because we were afraid to walk in the area at night. While the place is clean and the room is acceptable, we did not feel safe, and for that reason alone, I would not recommend staying here.
