It’s a mixed bag. Backpackers on a budget. History nerds. Couples looking for weird date vibes. And definitely Instagram influencers.
You’ll see a lot of ironic selfies. Posing with handcuffs. Captions like “Literally me in the slammer.” It’s cringe, but you’ll do it too.
I met a guy who booked a jail hotel for his bachelor party. His friends dressed as guards. They made him “escape” to get to the wedding. It’s a vibe.
Should You Try It?
Look, if you want a normal vacation—go to the beach. Don’t go to prison. But if you crave unusual and love a good story, absolutely do it.
The walls have secrets. The staff often have amazing tales. And you’ll never complain about a tiny hotel room again. Perspective, baby.
Just bring earplugs. Other guests might snore like inmates. And avoid talking to anyone who calls themselves “Cell Block B.” Trust me on that.
