dorm hostel, not hotel

This is a hostel not a hotel. It was really smelly and bathrooms dirty. It is a dorm of 50 people in one room, not a pod but bunk beds blocked by a curtain. It was noisy as people are travelling to airport so all you hear all night is alarm clocks, and slamming of doors. Do not advertise this as a pod hotel because a pod hotel is a enclosed unit.

The pre cancellation petiod was something like 72 hours. This is unusual so I didn’t notice it. I tried to cancel 2 days in advance. Too late. Then I went to some trouble to inform the hotel so they could at least use the room pod for someone else, but even though I didn’t show I get these relentless emails asking for a review. So here it us.

Convenient, affordable. Staff was very nice and accommodating of a pod change (post surgery so had trouble climbing to the top pod). Close to mall, groceries and restaurants. Area outside in the parking lot and surrounding area is a bit sketchy, and not clean.
