The facilities. The staff. The proximity to downtown.

The door code did not work for my room. Staff helpful with alternative solution. The approach road to the property can be better for walking (under construction). The path to Whole Foods can be intimidating under the bridge. Better to do the shopping during daytime.

Great location to get to the main areas of the city. The room is a good size and has a full kitchen. The temperature control is easy to use and the Aircon not too loud. Overall a really comfy stay!

If you book the parking online it says it's $50 per night but if you ask for a parking permit in person it's $35+vat. Not sure why there's a difference in price. The housekeeping staff are REALLY quick to move in after you leave with suitcases. We were doing a couple of trips to the car and within a few minutes they had cleared our groceries and food for our day ahead and we didn't manage to get it all back. The hotel were very gracious and gave us some money back so that's all good, just be aware that they are very efficient at clearing out if your suitcases aren't present. The park nearby that our room had a view over is currently a building site. Not much the hotel can do about that but it's not the best view

The location is excellent; it is a very walkable neighborhood with grocery stores and restaurants just a few minutes away. You don't really need a car to go from there to downtown. The apartment was very nice, definitely suitable for longer stays. It was also very quiet, and the staff were great. Last, but not least, it is quite an affordable place.

I felt totally safe in the neighborhood, even at night, but there are some camps nearby set up by a local homeless community, which might make someone less comfortable. But they are people like everybody else, and they did not bother anyone.

Great location. Very central. Room was super spacious. The bed was comfortable (linens, pillows, etc.). The sitting area was comfy too. The kitchen was nice. Full size fridge with ice maker. Good size bathroom with nice shower and shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Building was quiet. Had an awesome coffee machine in the lobby.

There was a lot of construction around the hotel but that is not the hotel's fault. You had to put in a code to go up or down in the elevator which was a bit of a pain. I'd rather just have a code to get in the building.

It was a very nice and clean studio, walking distance to 6th street; great facilities including dishwasher, coffee in the room and with swimming pool and gym facilities. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the gym!

Elevator was broken at the time, but we had another elevator option further in the building. It would be useful to have signage to direct to the facilities, we wandered around until we found the gym.

Great location to downtown! 4 min walk to convention center. You need a code to get into every door, which makes it extremely safe. The rooms were clean and spacious. So nice having extra room for the same price as a hotel room. The kitchen is such a bonus! Very quiet, never heard any neighbors. Will definitely stay again

Location was good enough, you can walk to the center. It was clean, with good facilities. The vibe was good.

The night clerk was not very helpful when we arrived to find our room. The day clerk was great tough. Bed could be better, murphy bed with an overused deformed mattress. On one night a cockroach was wondering in the toilet. I killed her, it seemed like an isolated incident.

Super comfortable in an amazing location, walking distance to a Whole Foods and Target and a couple blocks away from the busy nightlife area but quiet enough to get a great nights sleep. Phenomenal value

Not much to say here, be nice if the recycling area was better labeled.

Very nice suite, very conveniently located. Friendly and service oriented lobby staff (online support is not helpful)

Skip the online pre-arrival check-in. It’s cumbersome and even not lawful to having to leave them your online passport scan and selfie. Just skip this and go straight to the lobby and get yourself checked in.

I liked the little details such as 2 tabs each for the dish washer and laundry machine. The coworking space and gym are good enough for a weeks stay. The view from the balcony at night was quite nice and the room was great

It's a bit noisy at night
