The studio suite balcony was clean. the modern kitchen included a massive fridge freezer with an ice maker. I found this especially useful. the in-unit washer and dryer were very convenient for my longer stay. I appreciated that a lot.

The placement of the electrical switches in the bathroom was somewhat inconvenient. They were behind the door.

this place offers actual apartments instead of just hotel rooms. i booked an extra night because i enjoyed the stay (it was a really nice surprise). the proximity to broadway and downtown is good, and i could easily walk to grocery stores, restaurants, and bars. the location is far enough from the party areas, so nights were generally quiet.

The unit was a one bedroom apartment. It was very clean and had everything I needed. The hotel is within walking distance. All the staff was friendly and eager to help.

The look of the apartment was a little tired. A coat of paint would help. I would not hesitate to stay again.
