Dreamfyre's Ancient Dragon Horn Sweet Suite

DECEPTIVE! BEWARE! First, the positives: Good location; good bed; decent shower and water pressure; fair wi-fi. Everything else: 1: Complex and confusing application process, involving several identical appearing (but different) emails that require you to click through EIGHT pages to get to relevant information, and incoming emails from multiple sources. 2: It's labeled a suite, which, by definition, is multiple rooms. It was ONE room dominated by the bed. Our bathroom was not connected to the room, requiring us to go into a shared space in order to use the facilities. Both the bedroom and bathroom doors required entering a 6 digit code on a keypad every time. Doors would not latch without setting the electric lock, and the doors would swing open if not locked, making the whole situation awkward and inconvenient. 3: One of the photos used to promote the location clearly shows a bathroom directly off the bedroom. Since this configuration apparently only applies to a handful of the units, this seems deliberately deceptive. 4: This is a relatively minor issue, comparatively speaking, but illustrates just how needlessly complicated everything was. The television had Netflix, but it was logged in with (presumably) the owner's account, which was then passcode locked. The upshot is that we could not even sign out of their account and log in with our own. 5: Parking is problematic, forcing us to park several blocks away multiple times.

This place was fine. It's set up more like a hostel. Each room seemed to have its own bathroom, but the entrance to the bathroom is outside the room itself in the hall. For all of its attempt to create a certain experience (The Dragon Suite!) it's really just a bed in a room with a couple of wall hangings. It was clean and well maintained. Everything that happens in the building can be heard throughout the building (we could hear people in kitchen on the 1st floor futzing around even though we were on the third floor). The neighborhood was great, situated between Broadway and 15th on Capitol Hill, so access to just about anything you want is readily available. And just a short walk to Volunteer Park. The parking can be tough if you have a car, as all of the parking is 2 hour around the place.
