Liked: Cleanliness
Place was clean but doors were very dirty around the handles. Weird antiseptic smell that I could do without. Very quiet but limited use of balcony area due to shared use and interior position. The limit of walking distance to the plaza but worked out great Ped gate code does not work so had to enter thru car gate. No laundry detergent and no instructions on how to operate dishwasher. Nice place but will look elsewhere for the price point that gives more outside living space. Incredible small tv’s. I have my home computer monitors that size. Took 2 days to get WiFi going with multiple texts and phone calls.
Great location within walking distance to the plaza and many other attractions. Well appointed furnishings, comfortable bed and the washer and dryer worked great and is always a major plus. We could have stay longer!
Maybe new time.
