They have smart TV's, you'll need an account with something to watch TV. Remember to log out before you leave. Inserting the door card to get power everywhere was a unique thing.

Nicely appointed private studio. Very clean and very welcoming and comfortable. Great minimalist design. You will check-in somewhere else so read the details before you drive to the actual destination. Don’t quite know how the tv channels worked. There was only one, also bring your own Keurig pods our ground coffee, an ice tray and an iron.

This place works if you’re looking for a basic, budget-friendly stay for a night or two. Pros: Easy and convenient parking Clean room and bathroom Good internet connection Very reasonable price ADA-compliant kitchen and bathroom setup Full kitchen with cookware and appliances Building and interiors look nice and modern Cons: The bed was squeaky and not the most comfortable Door had no insulation—you can hear regular conversation from the hallway Fridge was noisy during the night Shower only had a curtain, and water leaked easily onto the bathroom floor It’s not really a hotel in the traditional sense. Feels more like a student or long-term stay building. You check in by picking up a key from a nearby motel about 5 minutes away by car, and check out by simply leaving the key in the room and sending a text. There’s no front desk or room service. Overall, it’s okay for a short stay if you don’t need much beyond a clean space to sleep. Just be aware that privacy is limited and it’s not a full-service hotel.

Places run terribly everybody that lives at this apartment hates management. It does not have any amenities even a one star hotel would have the room wasn’t ready until after 4 PM. The key card is at another hotel 4 miles away. If you have to pick it up at 4 PM, you’re stuck in traffic to get to the next place not well fought out management doesn’t care and if you leave a second after checkout time, your car doesn’t work and you’re locked out of the building, not really sure how they even have a license because when I asked, they couldn’t provide it to me

Nobody ever acknowledged me, it was an apartment space and I didn’t know what to do. Thankfully the motel I had to find honored my reservation

I did see in the reviews you had to pick up the key somewhere else, so I got the address ahead of time which was ok. What i didnt like was parking was double booked. Someone was in my assigned spot and it took like 30 minutes to get ahold of someone and get a new spot. My stay was for 4 people and only two towels. The shower drain was full of hairs. No extra blankets for the pull out couch. The tv does not work so yeah we were bored before bedtime. The most sucky part is these bad comments have been stated and they do nothing to address it. Not staying here again.

6/10

You have to go to another motel to get the keys and wait nearly an hour to check in because the hotel agent at the desk is responding to a third party online and can't view your check-in automatically so you have to wait after a long trip; One is tired! But after that, the place is very pleasant.

4/10

I should have read the reviews beforehand. Very inconvenient to check in 5 miles away, with no response to voice or text messages. This could be an acceptable place but the lack of bedding on the pull out couch combined with the paper thin discount bedding on the main bed made sleeping for more than one impossible. On the street parking isn't as bad as others state as there were a few places near juvenile hall- I vascilated between worrying about tickets or break ins. Luckily it only rained 2 nights while i was there. What a shame. With a responsive or caring manager, this apartment could complete with other motels in the area

4/10

It was a nice place overall the only thing that I did not agree with was our room had four smoke detectors... Well 2 smoke detectors and 2 carbon monoxide detectors... Which would constantly go off at the slightest amount of steam or smoke when I was cooking... It was so frustrating. Management and the maintenance guy... (Or at least that's what they said) Showed up to my door and kicked me out! No refund, no offer to move me and my fiançee to another room, no any other accommodation, nothing! Just get out, the cops have been called, thank you very much. So unfortunately this brought my stay to an abrupt end. I have yet to receive a refund of any sort. Everything else about the property is acceptable.
