I stayed at the dorm hotel in a single room. It really did look just like a dorm room. The hotel is very cute and set up nicely. I only wish it had coffee all day. The coffee service doesn’t start until 8 AM which for me was pretty late.

Pleasantly Surprised!
I have to admit I was skeptical of this place due to the name but was pleasantly surprised. It was clean, well appointed, beds were so comfortable, and cozy, not to mention cute. If I am back in town, I'll definitely stay there again.

The rooms aren't really designed for business, the working/sitting areas in the rooms is minimal (I've stayed in about 6-7 different rooms). Beds are fine, shower is straight down from the ceiling

Let’s start with the positives. This was a super unique and cool hotel to stay in. It was very clean, updated, and the person running the front desk while we were there was super nice. Now for the big negative - you can hear EVERYTHING and I don’t just mean the usual noise in a hotel.
