Great location, friendly staff, feels like family here in a gay way which is excellent. When the music venue was open it was even better--I hope it comes back.

I have stayed in The Jupiter several times over the last decade and this might be my last. This time I stayed again in the older Motel part and genuinely feel like they need to rename, revamp, or do something that separates the experiences. The motel is a bare bones motel, which I don't have a problem with and stay at motels often, but it had less amenities than a typical cheap motel. I felt like I had to meet the room and staff halfway for things that should be standard for a stay. The quirk of the worn out chalkboard paint and pixelated murals are working double-time to try and keep you from noticing the broken/missing fridges, broken cheap soap dispensers, and thin walls. Only during checkout was I let known there was coffee available in the building across the street, felt about right.

Great location, clean room, lovely renovated bathroom. That is genuinely where the good news ends. Parking requires showing up in person at 11am to claim a spot. If you have, say, a job or a conference, good luck. The front desk staff were efficient in the way a tollbooth is efficient: functional, but nobody's thrilled to be there. The room in the "old" Jupiter had no iron (prompt delivery on request), no sound insulation, and no openable windows. It did have a fridge packed with $14 kombucha and enough candy to host a children's birthday party. Priorities were made clear. The AC had two settings: louder or Jet Engine. Without it, the room reached a humidity level best described as alive. It also smelled of mold, which tracks. The billing was a creative experience. On May 3rd they sent me a full invoice showing a May 3rd departure, which sent me scrambling to call and confirm they hadn't checked me out a day early. They hadn't. That invoice simply had zero dollars charged. Then, 16 hours after I checked out at 6:30am on the 4th, a new invoice arrived at 10:30pm, same line items, and this time with an undisclosed fee quietly added. All of this after I had already filled out their satisfaction survey. When I asked for a refund, I was offered 10% off a future stay by an anonymous staff member. I will not be having a future stay. I'm not a lawyer, but I'm reasonably sure that's not how consumer protection works. Save yourself the trouble and book somewhere that tells you what you owe before you leave.

horrible.
went to the bathroom before i went into the bar and the security was already kicking me out saying “ i wasnt a guest” so i told him i cant use the restroom before i go into the bar? n he repeatedly kept saying i wasnt a guest n that the other security messaged them. when i had barely walked into use the restroom then go into the bar. n i told him this isnhow you treat guest? n he just walked away.

No frills but central and walkable
I was put in the Jupiter hotel for a work conference and think it’s important just to know going in that it is very motel like and bare bones. That being said the bed was fairly comfortable and I think for a very no frills stay it’s in a good location
