A nicely set apartment, with everything one would need even for an extended stay. So everything is positive, except: The bedding uses worn-out quilt. The apartment on the third floor (#302) was suffering from noise due to waste disposal trucks coming in at 4:30 am.

The room was stunning and very comfortable. The only complaint I would have is, it’s self check in which is great however the staff sitting at the desk never spoke to us and we walked past multiple times. They were always in their own conversation but an hello would’ve been nice. However the room was clean, getting into the room was easy, and the bathtub WOW amazing! I would definitely return.

Location was great. Staff were great. The suite overall was good. The only downside was the bed. It was soo uncomfortable. It was very soft and you sunk into the bed the minute you got it. It made it uncomfortable to sleep.

No key cards available, you have to pull out your phone and enter codes every time. The unit was very comfortable and spacious, but the shower really needs more thorough and deeper cleaning between guests. I would happily stay again. Adding recycling bins in the kitchen would be great.
