It was a great location in the city, we even booked a tour that ended up being right next to the hotel when we were ending the tour! Space was great and clean, it was nice and quiet as well. The only issue was checking in was a little confusing. I was sent a msg that I would receive codes and apt numbers in a later email but never did. I sent a msg to the host through hotels.com and never heard back. We were early though so we walked over to the location to find out check in is done at the hotel next door. I think they just need to update their check in instructions, but once that was done great place!

Great location

Check in was simple but in email it said to check in at hotel next door and attachment to email said I needed a code which confused me. Turns out you check in at hotel and no code was needed. Room was comfortable and spacious with a nice kitchen. Note you need to wash and put away dishes. Location was great and walkable to large part of town.

These are Individual apartments. No doorman or traditional hotel amenities. Apartments are very clean, modern and in a great part of town. If you’re staying for any duration of time these are great as they have a full size kitchen. Would for sure stay here again.

Access to building is from the back side requiring more walking. It was unclear check-in was at the neighboring hotel until a note was found at the entrance. Newly redone, clean and near city center.

I did not receive the email with check in instructions that Expedia said would come, but there was a sign on the door directing us to the hotel next door for questions and the woman at the front desk was one of the most pleasant people I have ever encountered and she straightened things out immediately.

Property was clean. However there is no view at all and the room only had two tiny pillows. The bed was nice but having one tiny pillow each made it a really uncomfortable stay.

The location was very tourist friendly - parking and walking everywhere was great. I just didn’t know when I booked it - I would be in a basement and at first that was very concerning. I feel like that should be noted -but the windows were large enough that I didn’t feel too claustrophobic. It was clean- had all the amenities however a boot rug under the coat rack would have been perfect to catch all the dirt and not spread it around the apartment. Over all would stay again.

Nearly perfect.

Great studio style hotel with kitchenette and living area plus common area and a laundry, all centrally located with self check in. The only minor issue was insufficient window coverage letting in the light. During short nights it’s a bit of an issue.

Great stay. Checkin instructions communicated were incorrect. Tried calling the property and no one picked up. Eventually realized that check in is required at a hotel around the corner. Room has all amenities. Laundry was not working though.
