Pods Feel Hotter Than The Surface Of The Sun
Lovely courtyard by a Japanese restaurant (share common outdoor seating area). Beautiful exposed beams and nice bar/reception with friendly staff. None of the positives can overcome the sleeping conditions.
My first pod was next to outdoor seating area’s window. So, my pod kept filling with smoke. The pod would quake violently every time the couple above me would enter and exit. So, I asked if there was a different location with an opening.
There was one on the next floor up. So, he happily moved me there. He said they had put a portable air conditioner in the room the pods reside and it should be chilly. I was excited about that since the previous pod bordered on uncomfortably hot (the pod had a circulation fan that helped with that). So, I moved up to the next floor.
The room was nice and cool, great! then I opened the pod’s door and it was so hot that I felt I couldn’t stand it. So, I kept the door opened (which 100% of the people on this floor did).
I thought leaving the door opened would eventually clear out the sweltering temperature and it would become ambient temperature. But, this pod had no circulation fan (although there was a button to turn one in and off). The unit that houses the fan was emptied.
I slept about five hours my entire stay due to the heat. My phone wouldn’t charge over 80% because it kept piping up a warning that it would begin charging once it reached a safe temperature. It felt like a plausible mediaeval torture method.
I won’t return.
