Last month, Amazon announced that it's turning an old hotel it bought in downtown Seattle into a temporary shelter for homeless people.
It's only going to be open through 2017. Amazon bought the land to turn it into part of its ever-expanding campus.
But for now, Amazon has partnered with the nonprofit organization Mary's Place and the Seattle Mayor's office to run the shelter.
Here's what it's like inside:
