Unfortunately, I have not had the best experience with Groundfloor.
I have a big test coming up this week, and when I signed up for the membership I made it known that I would be using this coworking space to study after hours. Last Wednesday, there was an event going on for about 2.5 hours with kids running around and screaming. Then on Thursday, there was another event where I was asked to move out of the general space and into a small room with the other coworking members, which made it feel really cramped and a lot louder/distracting since all the conversations were concentrated in one small space.
Today, on my last weekend before the test, there were two events happening on Sunday, one of which was not even listed on the events calendar.
I’m honestly conflicted because I do love community, but this is a coworking space first and foremost. As someone paying a pretty penny to work and study here, I would expect there to be a quiet space to do so, and I would hope Groundfloor would prioritize its paying members over others trying to host events. If they want to host this many events, they really need a bigger, separate space for them.
I just wish it had been advertised how many events are hosted in this space because I would say it’s a social/third space first and a coworking place second. I had also mentioned that I would be working here after 5 p.m., and I think it should have been brought up how often events are hosted after hours during the week and on weekends. I saw on the website that the space was available 24/7, but I assumed that meant coworking conditions would be maintained 24/7 as well.
