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 The bar and hotel concept should be perfect there but the rooms are outdated & don’t have ac so you have to sleep with windows open allowing all the noise from patrons of the bar that wander over to the lower balcony/parking.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

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. |

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. |

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. |
