Weird Place to stay - No Breakfast
Overall the place was ok - I thought they had breakfast but they did not. It was a little weird there was nobody in the office. It appeared to be managed remotely by someone in Bogata Columbia. They sent me a code for my room. Also it isn't a hotel, it is a motel with all rooms having an outdoor exit. The area didn't seem especially safe and we could hear the people in the room next to us.
We will not be staying there again.

Boutique-tech Hotel with drinks on the side
This was a great boutique-tech hotel. There was no in person staff to greet me but they did have a person on screen to help check me in, and scan my ID. It was much easier than I thought it was going to be and got a code for my room instead of a key.
The room was comfy and the hotel is super cute. If you're missing a hotel bar you can head 3 doors down to the right to Route 92 Sports Bar and hang out with the locals for cocktails.
