Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Very disappointing experience. Was given a room with the incorrect specs that we had booked for - two twins instead of a queen. There wasn’t hot water and communication with The Laundry rooms was very poor on an ETA or fix checked out early the next morning as we require access to showers when traveling especially for business. Won’t stay again.

If you are looking for a kitchen and convenient location, this is a great choice. Walkable to parks, excellent food options, cute coffee shops and shopping. Also close to the universities. Convenient digital key system via your phone. Nice layout with open kitchen. I’ve stayed here twice now and would book again.

Comfy beds. Great Views

Spacious pleasant accommodation with room for early risers and sleepy heads to coexist comfortably. Great views. Comfy bed. Great WiFi. I’d suggest more coffee pods and a box of Kleenex. Other than that perfect
