4/10 Poor

A minimalists version of minimalism. Far less privacy and fewer amenities / comfort than I had expected. Entirely my fault for not researching more to understand the product / experience. Still does not cancel out some of the overall issues.
It's a slim step up from a hostel. Safer in that you have your own bed that you can lock your things in, however, there were multiple other frustrations.
1. While getting to the airport hotel was quite easy, getting into the dormitory of beds was frustrating. It took several tried to figure out how the door lock (press the digital numbers on the round key pad that was not intuitively responsive).
2. I was given a clean towel and bed space, but no fan or air conditioning adjustment that could allow me to cool my space anymore so than anyone else. I run hot and definitely had difficulty sleeping as a result.
3. Several neighbors were quite noisy / had no respect for the fact that other people might be sleeping. We are given some disposable ear plugs.. but slamming the doors on the bed is something you feel as well as hear.
4. The showers / bathroom areas are dormitory style and barely give you the space you need to be able to properly clean and not get all your clothes wet while trying to pamper yourself. When I got to the bathrom in the morning there were no clean floor mats to put down. Everybody else in the hotel had already gone through it. So that was that.
Not for me unless it is my only option.
