Review of Bo Hotel 3*

We opted to stay here because we had never heard of a 'sleep box' before and we thought it would be fun! So in short — sleep box very cool, well priced and fun! But stay away from the bar, do your research and don't expect anything from the staff/bar/whoever runs the sleep box side of things. DETAILS: The good — It was fun! The box is very cozy, sleeps a little warm but has decent ventilation. The mattress is very long so you can easily stretch out, a little on the firm side. It has space in it for carry on luggage size bags and has very thick walls so it was pretty quite. You share two — very nice — showers between 5 sleep boxes. The showers are private and there are 3 water closets. We never had a problem with overcrowding in any of these spaces and they were mostly clean. The bad — I would say this is a place for experienced travelers to stay at only. The staff is very friendly but less then helpful. If you are parking and need to leave early in the morning, DO NOT PARK in the underground garage as it locks from 2am to 6:30am, but apparently the Bo didn't know this and has no night staff to help. We even mention that we were leaving at 4:00am and that garage was still suggested to us. I also loved the idea of having a bar right there for food and beer but the first time we went there the food was exceptionally slow (though it tasted great) and I was never asked if I wanted a second beer and by the time we got our food we needed to leave for out event. The bar had little interest in night time fries, drinks and us in general. I really thought it would be fun to have a bar three steps from us but obviously my expectations were too high. I feel like some of this would be really easily fixed with either a welcome packet (or half sheet of paper) including info on parking, food in the area (especially breakfast) and a short expatiation of how the bar and the sleep boxes were related or giving customers more specific info when they check in. Just an idea.
