Fantastic place to crash for short stay, get to know new friends, near the bus transfer station and transport to get around town, great cafe breakfast, fantastic staff. Minor downside which is uncontrollable if you are uncomfortable with homeless ppl.

Nice hotel in a central location
The Society Hotel was clean, service was great, and our private room was well designed. The rooftop and cafe were nice additions so you could stay in and have what you need at night. The location was central, however, there were quite a few interesting characters located on the street immediately outside the hotel. Overall great experience.

I really did like my stay at the hotel. There was a slight hiccup checking in, but that was my only really issue. I love the bar/coffee downstairs and rooftop area. I think the biggest issue is outside the hotel where does feel unsafe and parking is inconvenience. I did find parking, but I wasn’t sure what would happen to car since there’s a club and people hanging out in public parking. That’s nothing the hotel can control, but circumstances of the location. Still very good hotel.

The property itself was well kept and the staff were friendly. The room was big with a nice bathroom. I found the room did have an odd smell and the pillows were uncomfortable. The neighborhood is struggling with homelessness and this could be off-putting for some travelers.

The hotel itself is really nice. The lobby is lovely, cute atmosphere, and has a cafe - and the staff was all chill and friendly ppl! The area nearby is walking distance to eateries and such, but there is a large number of unhoused people around which my Lyft driver warned could be dangerous to navigate at times. Personally, I walked down a few blocks (alone) for pizza and doughnuts, and I was totally fine. The doors stay locked and you have to keycard in for entry and to use the elevator, so it stays secure. The little rooftop is such a fun addition to get a view of the city and is open til 2am. I stayed in a private room with shared bathroom so the fact they give you bathrobes to use while there is really great too

Cute!
Cute small hotel, well managed and clean as a whistle. Also cute Tiny bar and espresso in the comfortable lobby. Awesome outdoor rooftop lounge. Room very simple and small but functions well. Shared bathroom thing was no problem, never saw anyone else there. A bit of noise at night.. people, sirens, trains, the urban experience; they have earplugs in the rooms. Neighborhood is pretty bombed out with homeless urban decay yet generally felt non aggressive at least, and tons of fantastic indie cafes bakeries bagels chocolate donuts restaurants etc within a 10 min walk radius. Hotel can get Secure car park a block away. Would definitely stay again.
