8.4/10 Very Good! (45 reviews)
Overall not a bad one night stay, the property manager was very accommodating to our needs.
But the unit itself could use a little TLC.
Pros: Accommodating property manager
Comfortable bedding and sheets
Spacious parking
Towels and toiletries provided, as well as pan ware
for cooking.
Cons:
A smell throughout the unit (probably a given since it’s on older building)
Carpets need to be redone or deep cleaned.
Bathroom had a smell to it, along with temporary patch in the tub wall, maybe it needs to be replaced entirely.
Parts of the wall seem to be rotted towards baseboards.
A window was left open in a spare room prior to our arrival, didn’t notice until after we returned from shopping. All the windows were left unlocked.
It was a good one night stay, but all in all, this place could use a bit more renovating
