Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
It was very comfortable, a true home like feel away from. Not friendly to smokers & no pook. Otherwise 10 oit of 10.
When I checked in to my room, it was not up to par and had a weird smell like something was burning. When I informed the front desk Receptionist Erica- she took care of it right away! She even upgraded my room! Give her a raise! Great customer service!!
Amazing experience over all! Loved our stay, hosts were gracious and accommodating. Space looks amazing and our views were excellent. Very modern, sleek. We loved everything and will be back in the near future!
frustration and disappointment with the lack of assistance I received during my recent stay. On the night of May 17 at approximately 10:30 PM, I contacted the front desk to report that the dryer in my room was not functioning. I had already completed my laundry and needed to dry my clothes in preparation for work early the next morning at 6:00 AM.
Despite explaining the urgency of the situation, I was informed that there was nothing that could be done and that maintenance would not be available until the morning—at which point I would already be checking out. This response was not only unhelpful but entirely unacceptable, especially considering that I was aware there were other rooms available on the property. I suggested being allowed access to a dryer in one of these rooms simply to resolve the issue, yet this reasonable request was denied without any attempt to find an alternative solution.
This situation reflects a serious lack of problem-solving and customer service training. As a paying guest, I expected a minimum standard of support, particularly for such a basic amenity that directly impacted my ability to prepare for work.
Due to the complete lack of resolution and disregard for my circumstances, I will be disputing the charges for this stay with my credit card company. I am extremely disappointed by the way this matter was handled and hope that this feedback is taken seriously so no other guest has to experience the same.
Great location with basic amenities. If you’re looking for a standard hotel then this is it. Far from luxurious, its Furniture and fixtures are low in quality but if that doesn’t matter to you, then this hotel is adequate.

Disappointing experience
sink stinky, the water in the shower was cold for 4 straight days. We complained but never got the water temperature upto the satisfaction. No lights in the living room and the toilet flush did not work on day 1.
Awesome location very convenient access to Metro minimalistic yet still refined and up-to-date.

Thin walls and non-existent quiet hours
This was our second time staying here. The first time a year ago was great, but this time, not so much. I booked the larger size of the two bedroom suites, although the unit we were given didn’t seem as big as last time. It was clean, but I did find clumps of hair on the floor of the smaller bathroom. The worst part was that my parents and I hardly got any sleep due to all the noise. There was someone above us who must’ve been putting furniture together until 4am because they kept dropping the Allen wrench and moving chairs around. Even worse, there was a party going on in another unit a floor or two above us until 5am. Nonstop noise of music and people talking and laughing. We also heard people running around and hanging out in the patio area below, even though we were on the 8th floor. The sign in the suite says quiet hours are from 10pm-7am, but clearly it is not enforced. It was pretty terrible and ruined our morning plans that Easter Sunday because we all felt like zombies from lack of sleep.
