    Important: Kasa makes you complete identity verification on their own platform (even though you've already gone through that on Airbnb). Do this right away, before your trip! A different guest was stuck outside because they were getting an error in the identity verification flow -- ultimately they had to leave and go get a new hotel (at their own expense). That's a real bummer! Would be ideal if they had at least one person at the hotel in person to help guests troubleshoot. Other than that, I had a nice stay. It was easy to check-in, and customer support was quick to text back (as I tried to help the other guest). The room was nice, great amenities, good local recommendations. Perfect for a quick work trip!
