9 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2026
Comfy beds, 2 smart TV's, contact-less check-in, fridge and microwave, multiple tables, ramp entry and roll in shower, loads of towels and pillows, great location, friendly housekeepers. Room for air mattresses.
Decorative bedframe was hanging off wall precariously on one bed, and one light fixture was damaged. We were afraid we would be blamed for existing damage but nope. We were fine.

This place is a gem.
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2026
Layout was very modern. Features were of great taste. Entertainment was sophistcated.
Shower . even though it was modern needed a bottom lip and a longer curtain. Some water got on the beautiful bathroom floor
6 / 10Average·Jun 2026
Bed was super comfy, room was clean, cute style, good water pressure. Shampoos, soap and lotion were nice.
If the bright street light through the very thin window shade doesn't keep you awake, the constant trains passing by and sounding their horns will. The bathroom sink fixture was also a poor choice and water goes everywhere but in the tiny sink and faucet was super loose. Also there is no reception desk.You're suppose to go straight to your room and have a code sent to your phone but mine never came. Called for help and the code they gave me didnt work so it took about an hour for someone to fix it for me before I could enter my room. Finally got in a little past midnight.
