The pod and room were fine, but this hostel is also a band rehearsal space so if you wanted to nap and relax before your redeye flight, you’re out of luck if a band is rehearsing on the floor beneath you.

The Music City Hotel. This is a great concept & fun place to stay. It is really a hidden gem. You are the star! Stay here with your crew while you are on tour! This place has alot to offer a traveling entertainer. It is also a fun alternative place to stay than a typical hostel. There are a few different room options for singles, doubles & separate bunk style dorms for men & women. Plenty of showers. Everything is maintained nicely with daily cleaning service with coffee. The building offers private studio space for rent & staged performances nightly. It is a music venue downstairs at night with a variety of entertainment. They have a bunch of music classes taught by experts. Live local or stay at the hotel while you take a class. The bar has a food menu and bar specials. The nightly entertainment is free for guests. We had a great time and met alot of different musicians and travelers during our visit. It is in a great central location to get around the whole city

Room was as expected for the price - can't knock it for giving me what I paid for! Note that all bathrooms are communal but they're all private and locked by deadbolt(/keycard for
