Travelled with family and small children
This is a dormitory style hotel. My family of four was in a dormitory that slept four people, that is to say that there were no available beds for another party. We were very unpleasantly startled by someone who claimed to be “security” who entered our room without notice at 2am! My kids were so scared that we checked out a night early. Sadly, the hotel was cute in a unique way and the kids were loving the bunk beds but this unexpected visitor which could not be explained was so off putting that we left.

The generator was a unique and great place to stay for a reasonable price during a conference that I had at the Omni Shoreham. I appreciate it having a king room for myself. The staff was friendly and helpful.

I didn’t like the fact that the space was shared with a random stranger. This should be made absolutely clear during the reservation period. I’ve never had such an experience before so it was difficult adjusting to being in a shared space.

Definitely one of my favorite places to stay. I'm a travel director so I often have to find lodging between tours if they aren't back-to-back. The Generator is economical when I'm solo.

Fun, funky spot. Not luxury, if that’s what you’re looking for. But definitely a great place. Excellent staff, delicious cafe and bar onsite. Just don’t get the room directly above the bar on a Friday night if you plan on sleeping, ha!

I liked that it wasn’t old but more modern. It has potential, but the bright color graffiti design in my room was overstimulating— just my personal preference. The room I saw online wasn’t as overstimulating as my room. 2 stars for staff. They were rude and looked unhappy to be there. Gave me attitude when I asked a question about the restaurant. When I checked in they didn’t give me much info about the hotel such as anmenities included or where things are. Just checked me in and said nothing. And the worker on the cafe was on a phone call the whole time on her cell while taking my order. The mini fridge in my room was broken. Other than that it was clean and fine. I’m just used to good customer service at hotels.
