8.2/10 Very Good! (546 reviews)
We rented a unit with a seperate bedroom so we could have privacy but the door to the bedroom couldn't be closed because there was no a/c to that bedroom and the oscillating fan was broken. We were thankful for the a/c because the area was experiencing unusually high temps while we were there. The front door was damaged upon check in, which was concerning. There were little things like this that were disappointing, the staff did acknowledge my concerns but no other action was taken. The building seemed older and the balcony needed some repair. The location was excellent! And included parking!

Staff was amazing. Rooms were comfortable. Only reason why i can’t give a 5 star review is because the TV didn’t really work. After a long day it would be nice to come back to a tv that has working channels instead of choppy signal or just not loading at all.

9/10 Wonderful! (808 reviews)
I had a smoke detector die in my room and start beeping around 8 at night. I called the front desk, they said maintenance was gone and they didn't know what to do. They first told me to take the battery out. I refused as I was not physically able to climb on the chair and reach the detector. Furthermore, it seems like a poor idea to instruct your guests to remove the batteries from safety equipment. I called again and pressed for an answer. They said there would be someone coming at 11 pm who could assist me and that they would call. By 11 :15 no one called so I rang the front desk again and they new staff had no idea what I was talking about but thankfully came to resolve the issue after about 20 minutes. No one offered to comp anything to address the issue. The first person I talked to was rude and unconcerned. The room itself was dirty, and paying the 500 dollars a night that I did, did not meet the standard I would expect. The front desk was often unmanned, the rooms were outdated, and plain the shuttle service offered by the hotel was not described to me at check in and they attempted to charge me for parking 3 separate times despite me having no car and writing as much on their check in forms. I stayed 2 nights and would consider it a disappointing experience at a quarter of the price. Shout out to the evening shift guy who came to help me. Everyone else, ranged from rude to indifferent. Indifference is inoffensive at 100 a night not 500.
