    No on site parking really, really sucks. Also, the "living room" area with the sofa bed doesn't have real curtains as far as I could tell. That means as soon as the sun is up, whoever is staying in that room will definitely have a nice bright room.

    The fact that this was not only cheaper than the more regular hotels nearby but also had full apartment amenities was amazing. A full washer/dryer, full kitchen, in addition to the bedroom/"living room" separation was great.

    The fire alarm went off in the middle of the night, so I stood in the rain for almost two hours because the fire dept could not access the FACP room with the code they were given.

    The convenience of the location to bars and restaurants and to the job I was in town working at made getting around easy.

    The bed and linens were comfortable. The pull out sofa bed had a very thin mattress and was not comfortable.

    This is a very unique structure, constructed from decommissioned shipping containers. It was well constructed in a modern decor. The climate control worked well and the rooms felt well insulated. The apartment was spacious and fit our family of 4 comfortably. The galley kitchen was large and well stocked with utensils. There is no onsite parking but plenty of paid street parking. In the heart of downtown PHX. There is no onsite staff, we had to register with Sondar and get the check in /out instructions via email. There is customer service available via phone that can help with registration.

    The shower curtain did not come all the way down so there was a huge puddle of water on the ground after every shower. The live music from the local club/restaurant was great, but not at 1:30 in the morning.

    The location was ideal for all the activities we participated in!! There are so many options in the area. The uniqueness of the facility sold us on returning in the future.

    The check-in was a nightmare. I did not realize that it was self-serve—with no staff or lobby at the entrance. Thankfully, I was with a local friend who helped me figure out how to check-in, but if I had arrived alone, at night, and with no data on my phone, it might have been bad.

    The room was amazing, and I didn’t hear much noise from outside, so I think it’s quite soundproof.

    It was not easy getting into the place when we arrived at 9pm. Though the customer service was great and helpful. Even the next evening we still had trouble entering the gate to the building.

    Location was great for us and the place was perfect for us.

    Unfortunately, during my stay, there was an ongoing road upgrade activity around the property which disrupted traffic flow as well as generated loud noises inside the building. However, the activities have nothing to do with diminishing the superb quality of the apartment.

    The simplicity and cleanliness of the apartment were superb! I also like the location of the apartment in downtown Phoenix. The staff, I meant on arrival at about midnight, who was around to help guests get into their rooms after an earlier power failure had disrupted the door code computers, was very courteous.

    The roadworks out the front made the entrance a little difficult to find and the rear entrance seemed a little bit shady. But I didn't encounter any problems.

    I was really surprised with the quality of the room for the cost and the location. Upon booking I was just looking for somewhere cheap enough for a couple of nights, I ended up in a fantastic location with great facilities.

    entering the property was confusing and frustrating. It would be great to have clearer instructions that the keypad is hidden behind the big electric box on the street.

    the location was good with many options to eat and get access to downtown.

    Didn't like the blind in the downstairs room wasn't installed. at night that room was very bright with the exterior lights from street and bldgs, the rug in the living room needs a good cleaning. the blind in the upstairs room was crooked and did not block out alot of light from the outside. so happened that Tuesday the neighboring bars were playing music until 2:30 am.. which made difficult to get to sleep and stay asleep. didnt like that there was not designating parking and/or instructions for the parking meters, hours.. had to go down several times to pay for parking time.

    Liked the container design of the bldg. liked that you can walk to several close places.
