We had the 2 bedroom apartment, and rented a roll away bed. The apartment was clean, and the lady at the front desk helped set up a cab for the morning. It is overpriced given the location and overall value, although safe and clean.

We stayed in a 2-bedroom suite, good setup to have 2 bedrooms and a living area with kitchen. The rooms were clean but show some signs of wear and tear. The bedroom with 2 twin beds had a nice closet and suitcase stand, the bedroom with queen bed had only night tables-no place to put a suitcase. I had read that it was in a good location, close to the CBD, but we didn’t find that. It’s in a quiet area, but not close enough to walk to the CBD. There is parking, which is good.
