This place is really cute as far as aesthetic. Have stayed in summer and winter. It’s really loud. Thin walls and a party crowd due to proximity to bars/restaurants.

They charged $12 extra for parking, which is ridiculous for a “motel” (“motor hotel”). They also charged a $20-ish amenity fee, which is basically a pool … so makes zero sense in winter; and really should be included in the price of the room, not a hidden fee. The lock on our door also didn’t work, and it was a struggle to get it to latch closed. We also had a single towel for both of us in the room. I think the place relies on it looking cool (which it does in person, too), but the hidden fees and poor condition are not cool.

Disliked: Cleanliness
While the outer space of the motel is adorable, bright colors, eclectic decor, the room itself left something to be desired. The room had been renovated but poorly. Again, I love the concept of the place but it was not well executed in the room itself. The straw that broke the camels back for me was the shower, the tiles had brown grout lines in places and were completely covered by grout in others. Then, I noticed the long, black hairs all over my shower wall and I was done. I hope the owners are able to put some time and attention to the rooms because they have the start of something that could be great.

An adorable and unique locally owned and operated hotel. Such a wonderful experience, original and sweetly cheeky decor. Had an amazing stay and would stay at Hotel Zazz again! Thanks for being such a special place to stay. It's obvious the property is run with love, creative minds and personality. 1000% recommend.

Room was dirty, toilet was leaking, homeless people outside the hotel causing problems and cops showed up multiple times while we stayed there, room key did not work multiped times, changed rooms, got charged an extra fee for "good vibes and art" around the hotel, asked for refund on this and they said no, no compensation for any of the issues we were having.. No shuttle service from airport. Front desk was not knowledgeable multiple interactions with different staff, and everyone was on a different page and gave wrong information. I will never go back, it was awful.
