If you are solo traveller & want to be on cheap budget, this would be a good place to experience this. I don’t mind the single pod bed & amenities that come with this. I wouldn’t recommend for big families or big groups of people to do this. It is convenient that it’s close by to the Richmond Centre & Transit. Overall, not bad experience!

For $100+ per night, I wouldnt stay again. Inteied it to experience the sleeper pod model but the price point needs to be lower in my opinion.

Convenient, affordable. Staff was very nice and accommodating of a pod change (post surgery so had trouble climbing to the top pod). Close to mall, groceries and restaurants. Area outside in the parking lot and surrounding area is a bit sketchy, and not clean.

My stay was amazing! Staff were so attentive, and kind. Loved the facilities and my stay, it is a great location (other than dumpster smell nearby) as it is a quick walk to Value Village, several restaurants, and Richmond CF Centre. Will definitely come again
