The bathroom was a bit dirty. The toilet needed a bit more cleaning. Also the check-in system was a bit confusing. The whole ipad thing was a bit complicated.

Concerned mirrors were cracked in closet on arrival - this should be mentioned ahead and repaired as I was concerned I’d be liable since leaving a security deposit. Also had issues connecting to wifi

The room could have been cleaner. There was only the fitted sheet and a duvet on the bed. Thought it odd that there wasn’t a flat sheet on the bed. Could not control temperature in the room. Only one working elevator so checking in took longer than expected. There had also been a false fire alarm that afternoon which may have affected ability to clean thoroughly.

Washing machine and dryer have clothes/sheets in them from a previous stay. Check-in at the front desk took over 30min. WiFi credentials were incorrect both on posted signs, as well as in the messages sent by the owner.

There was no running water at all for most of our stay. No compensation was offered for this inconvenience, even when I asked. No towels at the pool, bring your own. Slow elevators, only one working for low levels. Many people coming in and out of the building without keys. Didn't feel too safe overall. Would be nice to have another lock on the door. Very disappointed with zero interest of the host to compensate us at all for the water issues. Would not recommend.

I truly wish I had seen the reviews on this property before I booked. I had the worst experience with my check-in and stay. The elevators were constantly broken and not working. Upon my check in, I had to lug my heavy suitcase up 18 flights of stairs to get to my floor. My room was still not ready at 4:55pm as the cleaner was still doing prepping my room for me. The wait times to use the elevators were long and frustrating when they were intermittently working. I had to check-in virtually online before arrival, then again in person with the security at the front desk which was quite frustrating. Lastly, the unit itself had lots of wear and stains on walls and upholstery for being a fairly new building. It didn't feel very clean. I would avoid this place at all costs.

the room wasn’t clean - leftover food in the fridge from the last client, and clothes in the washer/dryer made us question whether the place was cleaned at all. the mirror was cracked, and it was also very difficult to check into the place. it took us almost an hour to get checked in as receptionist staff were not helpful and there were many other people there too having the same difficulties.

Confusing, because we didn’t receive information before we arrived. No one at the building seem to know how to check in. It was ultimately all fine but a little confusing.

I could write a very long review for this room, but I already complained to the host and hotels.com which took my energy away. This room was not as advertised, save your money and find something else.

Terrible. When you get to the hotel to check inn tired of traveling. They send you a link to download and fill information to pay a security deposit. And that take hours instead of have someone at front desk to take care of that. Also the apartment was under construction missing wood floor etc.
