Fantastic Stay!

clean hotelconvenient locationfriendly staffaccessible facilities

This hotel is very well kept and clean. The location is super convenient, with a Target and Whole Foods nearby (less than 5 minutes away!). I found the staff very friendly, and the pool and communal facilities were always clean and accessible.

I noticed some noise from the hallways (people talking), and sometimes I could hear the neighbors upstairs. It wasn't a major issue, but it did affect the overall quietness.

Rooms

9/10

The room was spacious and well-equipped (it seemed like a home away from home!). I especially liked the full-size fridge and stove, because it allowed us to easily prepare meals. Plus, the building felt very secure, requiring a code for everything.

I appreciated the well-kept unit. Its quiet atmosphere provided a super calm place. The location proved convenient, offering easy access to nearby amenities. There were excellent on-site facilities too.

I found the air vent had visible mold. Everything else in the unit, though, was clean. This detracted slightly from the overall experience. I hope they will solve this issue in the near future.

adequate stay, some issues noticed

dirty floortrain noise

the room was not thoroughly cleaned. i found hair on the floor and in the drawers. i ended up buying cleaning supplies to clean the apartment myself. the location had its drawbacks as well. my balcony overlooked a highway. also a train crossing nearby created noise every 30 minutes. i heard loud bells before each train adding to the disturbance.
