Doxie Hotel

Negatives: Arrived at 2:15, check in is at 3, I was hoping to check in a little early. I was told no - Ok, that's their right. But then the staff at the desk told me not to expect to be able to check-in at 3pm either since they had a "lot of late check outs." I asked for a time, they couldn't give me one. I then asked If I would be paying less since they were providing less and I was told "that's not how it works." I had to change my plans and left my bag at the front desk for them to hold until I checked in later. I came back in and checked in several hours later without issue, great. The person I was staying with also checked their bag in at the front desk, and when they arrived back at the hotel, they came to find out their bag was missing. The hotel apparently gave their bag to someone else (despite having a numbered tag system that was apparently ignored by the staff). As a result, they were without their belongings the entire trip. Eventually after speaking to the manager they offered to compensate them for the bag and the contents if they couldn't get it back, but it's crazy to me that you can check your bag into a hotel and have them give it to someone else, even with a numbered tag system. There's no excuse for that. On top of that, when I first tried to check in they said I could use the bathroom, which I did - there were people's bags in the bathroom! I get it, there were a ton of bags, but putting them in the bathroom (where me or anyone else could have gone through them) is crazy, their bag checking system obviously needs a complete revamp if they are doing stuff like this and losing people's bags. Now, let's move on to the room. I knew I wasn't paying for the Ritz Carlton here, but was was expecting a couple more things. For one, I was expecting the toilet seat to have a top cover so that when you flush you aren't getting germs everywhere in the bathroom.

Negatives: Early check in isn't available for 3rd party booking sites. Room was humid.

Negatives: too noisy in the night

Negatives: I think one of the mattresses could be updated, but other than that I have no complaints!

Negatives: Noise from traffic on 8th street all night. There are windows on that side and they didn’t do a great job of blocking noise.

Negatives: the room was very small and had no windows

Negatives: Nothing comes to mind, it suited what I needed for my stay.

Negatives: Price - I get it but ending up at 200 a night when all said and done is about double what it’s worth. Shower had no pressure and ran out of hot water - you had to hug the tap to get under it.

Negatives: I like everything
