    It was an unusual place (no front desk), but it was what I expected, and it was a very pleasant stay

    Nothing.

    The location was perfect for us as we were attending shows for three nights at the Blues Alley Jazz Club a block away. It's also close to a bus line to get into the city near the mall and all the museums.

    Fantastic location, great for morning walks / runs by the river, the Canal and the Capital Crescent Trail. Room (lock 3) was nice, modern, well prepared, small but comfortable and the restroom really good too. Staff extremely nice and helpful.

    Tiny shoebox in basement. I was unable to use kiosk to get in. My reservation was not accessible. I emailed the property several times to ask if I could check in early but got no response.

    Great location near lots of cafes and restaurants.

    The communication one I booked was not accurate. It told me that I would receive an email two days before the reservation for my check in pin number. I left messages via chat and on an answering machine with the phone number that was provided and no one called me back. It ended up that the pin is provided when you use the kiosk There was no email ever sent prior to arriving. It was just confusing. Or stay there was nice but the communications being outdated gave me some anxiety that we wouldn't be able to check in.

    The staff are contactable by phone. Not sure where they are located but I found one of the phone staff to be a bit rude which was disappointing. Luckily there is little need to phone, as things are self-explanatory.

    The place was exceptionally clean and well organised. The shared kitchen was immaculate and the coffee and tea facilities were great. The restaurants close to the hotel were the ones we enjoyed the most.

    Great place to stay if you don’t need a tub and you don’t mind using the stairs every time you need go to the bathroom.

    The add was misleading. It referred to having a “shower with a bath” but there was no tub. I was specifically selecting a location with a tub but instead the apartment just had a shower on a different floor from the bed.

    Clean. Great location.

    Extremely expensive considering no reception or staff visible onsite (self serve model), no restaurant, no lobby or bar, small basement kitchen, average quality linens and mattress, below average bathroom amenities. The small balcony is in fact shared though in the pictures it looks private. Better options are available like the Melrose if you don’t mind walking 10-15 minutes.

    Perfectly clean and well appointed room. Location is exceptional.

    There was a strong smell in hallway that seeped into room. Trying to smell clean but was cloying. Suggest airing out location if possible? Or a humidifier in public space may solve issue....

    location is priceless. Super clean. Thoughtful accommodations: included umbrella! Complementary waters! a safe for personal items!
