“I joined the HotHouse as a coworker when I moved to town in February 2016 and overall it has been great. The workspace is comfortable, the people friendly, and the amenities (including Wi-Fi, conference rooms, storage areas, and a communal kitchen) provide for a great coworking experience. In a nutshell, it has everything you need, plus good company. I would highly recommend signing up to cowork here. ”
