We liked the apartment overall. It was modern with a nice kitchenette and large shower. The sofa was a little small and uncomfortable. There was random banging throughout the night from one of the apartments above us.

Very clean, nice studio with kitchenette with full size stove and oven and fridge, as well as washer and dryer.Did not have a table to eat at, though, only a small desk next to the bed. Overall a great deal. Had access to a nicer gym also with good machines, a squat rack, and cardio/tabata room. Parking garage was great but cost $35 per night extra.

This place is absolutely amazing! When I looked out my window in my room, I could see the swimming pool. It gives off this resort vibe. My only complaint is that the bed was a little too firm for my liking.

Gregory

The hotel is nice but it has significant issues when it comes to the fact that hot water only last for 2-3 minutes on average. Also you only get housekeeping if you stay longer than 1 week and you only get 1 housekeeping at that.

The stay was wonderful. The room was clean and tidy. It was confusing finding the hotel as it is part of the Marlow apartments and someone leaving the building helped guide me to check in as I was confused on where to go. I wasn’t aware parking was $35 prior to arrival. I wish utensils were already available in the room or atleast a note saying if you need utensils, please call guest services between certain hours as they are not always available. Overall, I would recommend!
