Cons: -The elevators can be busy, particularly on the weekend. -The condo (especially the floors) could have been cleaner at check in. ##### Chris W. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Jeremy S. 4 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy #### Not A Single Parking Spot Included Starting This Year I don’t usually wrire reviews but intentionally deceptive ads really anger me! Parking was always included here like it is anywhere else I've ever stayed. I asked the property manager by text if we were supposed to walk to the condo? I also pointed out that the ad not only doesn't mention there's no parking but it lists parking in included amenities! Two weeks later the ad remains the same because it's intentional! I wouldn't have left a review but while I'm here I will point out a few other issues. The master bedroom has glass doors that open into the dinning room and the striker plate doesn't align with the latch so it won't stay closed and can’t be locked! It popped open in the middle of the night several times when the AC kicked on! There's only about a dozen movies you can watch and they didn't change the entire week. We tried to use Netflix but it asked for our personal login and I didn't have the password. Bring your own toilet paper because what happens to be left on the holder is all there is. ##### Jeremy S. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jack S. 11 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Great view, but inside needs work! Loved the location and the view but disappointed with outdoor furniture that’s falling apart and the condition of the minimal cooking utensils. The ones we used were much cleaner when we left than they were when we checked in. Also, the queen and king size beds were very uncomfortable. Worn out? ##### Jack S.
