This is true! Due to popular demand, we designed ALOHA 2.0 for large bachelorette groups. Previously a 2,000 square foot office, we transformed it into a 5 bedroom Megapad! Complete with 2 double bunk beds, a Queen size sleeper sofa, twin size futon, and two Queen size Insta-beds.
It comes complete with not 1 but 2 giant hot water tanks, keeping that hot shower water flowing for your entire group. The bedrooms and bed types are detailed on the listing description here.

Both El Motel Dos & Tres have 4 bedrooms that each have a Queen size bed, sleeping 8 guests total. We provide 2 Queen size Insta-beds (the luxe kind that inflates while you sleep!) and bedding. We use the same plush bedding we use on our regular beds to sleep 4 additional guests for a total of 12 guests per El Motel.
Have more guests? Book El Motel United, a combo of El Motel Dos & Tres to sleep 24 guests for the ultimate takeover. -

We only use the Insta-Bed brand, which is the highest quality air mattress on the market.
In our 12 years of hosting, we have tested them ALL in our quest to find the most comfortable and reliable option. The Insta-Bed auto-inflates to the same height as a regular bed and also has a firmness-setting option. There is also a sensor in the bed, which ensures the beds stay inflated all night. This way no one will wake-up sleeping on the floor. We have personally slept on these mattresses and can guarantee. They are truly comfortable and BANGTEL approved!.
