Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
This was not a good experience. The unit was old and musty. Bathroom light was not working and multiple other issues were noted once we settled in. We were travelling with 3 kids and came off a long flight . They did not have any other unit avaliable till another 2 hours for an exchange. I did not get what i paid for. I am requesting a partial refund. The pictures i saw on expedia and the age of the apartments and amenities i received were worlds apart. Would never come to this property and would urge others not to book. It is absolute cheating. I never give good or bad reviews but this one truly brought me to the edges.

Will not stay here again. Room smelly, no sound proofing, cleanliness average. Staff show no interest in guests. We were made to wait outside of building after traveling over 13 hours until staff member finished their phone call. Intermittent banging through night and day, not sure if from lift. Disappointing. Do not recommend.
