Positive: Gingko House is affordable and in a great location, but it is definitely not for everyone. We stayed there for my husband's college reunion and it was fine, but it is totally weird and I think people should know what they are getting into. Overall I think it was a good value, but I probably wouldn't stay there again.
Negative: This place has a ton of weird quirks. Like others have said, it's extremely loud. They do give you earplugs but you can hear everything everyone else is doing--I could hear the man in the next room snoring. If you're a light sleeper this just won't work. Secondly, they make you take your shoes off in the lobby and switch them for house slippers. I get doing that at someone's home, but it's completely weird in a public business. Finally, they provide some breakfast foods, like croissants and fruit, but they also had several containers of cereal. So my husband poured himself a bowl, and went looking for the milk, and was told they don't have milk--that that was why they provide a mini fridge in our room! But in that case why provide cereal at all? It's so bizarre. The whole place is.
