Just texted the # on whatsapp and asked why I can't book online and they responded "we closed yesterday".
Today is 10/16

Any other cheap spots to stay at near TAO?

That’s a bummer. I enjoyed that place the last time I visited.

Is it just the hotel that's closed, or the bar and everything?

Damn that’s too bad, it as someone who stayed there I do understand.

The bar and hotel concept should be perfect there but the rooms are outdated & don’t have ac so you have to sleep with windows open allowing all the noise from patrons of the bar that wander over to the lower balcony/parking.

Everything. There were a few guests completing their stays there, but no staff and the place is not open.

I am surprised that it didn't close much sooner. I stayed there a month, and it was pretty dead. And with only 8 rooms it would be hard to make much money on them. If it is true that the rent was 13K a month, I doubt that it ever had a chance.

Yep. He was paying for any improvements, and without a long term lease on the property it was money down the crapper, plus the costs of just keeping it open.

Never heard about that. But he might have not wanted to talk about it. But I think that is nothing to do with why he is closing down in any case.
