Could be nice but it’s not. The rooms were horribly maintained. The floors and table were sticky. Overall the room lacked any care of being maintained unfortunately. We should have realized what we were getting for the price. Maybe the new management will change the deficiencies.

For the price of a hotel room we got a spacious apartment that’s very centrally located. 24/7 check in, great parking and clean although a bit dated apartment. Would stay again.

The condo was conveniently located and had a nice garden tub with jets as well as a separate shower. The kitchen appliances were up to date and dishes and glasses were provided. The furniture was worn and the carpet in the bedroom had several stains. The flooring had several weak spots and there were burn marks on the walls. Unfortunately, we could hear our neighbors walking, arguing and other activities throughout the night. We did not rest well at all and the mattress was extremely uncomfortable. Check in and out was quick and convenient.

The room was fine, but not as clean as it should have been. The ice maker didn't work at all. The coffee maker had a moldy pouch in it and was rusted out. one of the master bath sinks was very slow to drain. No spare toilet paper. Not the usual standards we are used to at this location we have stayed here many times.

We arrived and the location is great, we stayed 2 days and the layout was nice but it wasn’t what we were supposed to get. I had booked a 2 bed unit with a Jacuzzi tub, and instead we had two separate bathrooms and the entire unit was wheelchair accessible, so there was no deep tub. Just walk in shower in the master. The beds were nice, but being next to the parking lot on a low level the flood lights kept then bedrooms bright all night. We needed a few more blankets because there were three beds, but only one extra blanket. It took us two calls to the front desk to get them delivered. They have beach style shutter windows so you can’t really shut out light. The toaster didn’t work. The fridge water dispenser didn’t work. The kitchen and bathroom faucets never got hot water, the showers did though. We also woke up to construction work being done on the unit across from us. We stayed in unit 203. Just seemed like it was a nice place but needed a fair amount of up-keeping. Prob won’t stay again, despite the price was good. I’m sure many people would be happy with what is offered but I think it was advertised as a much higher quality place, left us disappointed.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Pros: Room configuration is great, apartment style we had a 2 bed 2 bath, full kitchen living room and balcony. Gas fireplace. Location is good. Cons: we had no housekeeping the entire stay eventhough they state you will get fresh towels and trash removal daily. First day we returned and noone had come by, day two same thing. Called first thing in the morning to advise and also our fireplace was not working. We were assured they would come by. Same story, noone showed up. They sent the front desk gentleman Deonte on two separate nights to bring towels and remove trash. He also got the fireplace to work. He was very courteous (he also checked us in) and apologetic. Next day they threw the towels on the sink and only emptied the kitchen trash, no bathroom removal. Unit was not very clean, bathrooms loaded with mildew. Cups dirty inside cupboard, no dish tabs available to run the dishwasher. Stove had baked on gunk and crumbs from previous guests, as well as the toaster was filthy. Washer in bedroom was full of mold as well. Upon check out, the young lady who helped me was very short, no good morning, no how was your stay, just "do you want a receipt" I said happy new year as she handed me the paper , no response. Maybe when they chamge the facility name there is new ownership and better staff education/training in hospitality and hoisekeeping.

I liked the spacious 2BR suite, and the working fireplace on a chilly night. We were able to park near our room, which was convenient for unloading. The place was quiet, and we rested well. If I could change anything, it would be softer pillows and a noon checkout. I'd stay here again!

The cleanliness in our first room left something to be desired. And the bedbug carcass I found inspection was unsettling. I contacted the Management and they did move us to a clean room in a different tower that did not find any evidence of critters in room was spacious and well appointed, however Even in the new room, I had to wash the dirty dishes in the cupboards and the vents in the ceilings were covered in dust
