Great location, close to shopping and lots of fantastic eateries. Only downside was the pool was closed for maintenance which wasn’t advised at time of booking and the air conditioning in our room was stuck on 17 degrees. Good job I like a cool room.

For the price compared to Other apartment suites it could’ve been better. I think it just needs an overall revamp everything still feels olden day. And that might be okay for some. I would note the lobby smelt, and the rooms were slightly musty however they were clean and it was okay. Maybe consider dropping the price.
