There is no one at the front desk. An access key will be sent to you by email in advance, and you can use it to open the entrance and room doors. The rooms are clean and there is a Whole Foods Sale just a 5 minute walk away.

The staff was great. The room was clean. It was just very small for the price. It was very convenient to everything so you can walk or bike to all the stuff easily. I would recommend it, but i believe its much cheaper during the week.
