Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Check-in window ends at midnight — The latest check-in is 23:59, which may be tight for very late arrivals. The express and VIP options help, but you'll need to plan around it.
- Small number of room types — With just six configurations — mostly studio-style with king beds — larger groups or those wanting multiple separate bedrooms (beyond the five-bedroom house) may find limited options.
- Early check-out time — Check-out is at 10:00, which is earlier than some guests may expect for a relaxed morning.
- Some units lack full climate control — One reviewer mentioned they'd have liked climate control and a microwave in their room, though the attic unit did have two air conditioning units.
