Not what you see on...
Liked: The location was good, downtown and close to many things. If you were staying for a few days (we were only there for one night) the kitchen area would have been nice.
Disliked: Don't expect the city views shown on the website. We were on the 3rd floor, and it felt like a basement. You'll have to go 4th or above for those views. We had issues getting into the hotel from the lobby (actually had to sneak in behind someone else - but were fine to get into our room). The info for parking was far more complicated than it needed to be - there is a public lot 1.5 blocks away that they really should add to their options. No coffee maker - just a tea kettle and nescafe. So location is great, everything else was not worth the price.

Superb
Liked: Great location near the waterfront. Great facilities including use of washing machine and dryer. Contactless check in worked well.
Disliked: The suites could do with a coffee machine, as provided in most accommodation. Instant coffee doesn't match the quality of the place!

A very well equipped comfortable...
Liked: This stay was surprisingly well equipped. The room was comfortable and, despite warnings from the owners, due to the location of the suites, it was quiet. It would be excellent for a longer stay with a well-equipped kitchen included, as well as a comfortable bed and plenty of space.
Disliked: It is exceptioanally difficult to gain access. This is due to a need to access the suites without staff. However, the arrangement means going through a complex self-check in using a wall-mounted box. This gives the neeced access codes, although these seemingly only last a limited time, so that you cannot return more than a few minutes later if you are to gain access without needing to go through the process again.

Good. We had a great...
Liked: In the afternoon, there was very loud partying. Not a big deal as it was daytime, but the place is not sound proof. When we got home about 8:00, it was perfectly quiet - partyiers were out- so we were lucky. We joked that we were on the show "Friends" as the decor reminded us of their apartment. We had everything we needed to create snacks and share drinks.
Disliked: Just the fact that it wasn't sound proof. We could hear every word that the couple in the next apartment were saying. It felt like they were in our room. And they started playing rap music. Not our fav and so loud. It was hard to over-ride, even when we played music. There was one loud bump in the night that woke us all up. Luckily nothing more so people must have passed out. Again, we were lucky.

Beautiful bright accommodations!
Liked: The suite was clean, bright and modern. The beds were comfortable. I enjoyed the space and would stay again
Disliked: Check in was confusing. We were among other guests outside trying to figure out how to get in. Instant coffee didn’t match the beautiful atmosphere. I would have loved notice to bring coffee and have a French press or an automatic Nespresso or keurig. No parking was a small issue as it says you can park in front but it’s clearly a no parking zone. Coffee, parking , check in - aside from this I absolutely loved it and would most definitely recommend and stay again !

Great for business stay or...
Liked: The apartment was spacious and one could easily stay there for an extended business stay or while looking for permanent housing. It is centrally located.
Disliked: Parking is difficult. Our unit (201) was toward Barrington, which had the usual street noise. However, the whole night there was a noise that seemed like a washing machine was running (and we may have been below the shared washing machine room on the third floor). I slept very poorly. While most furniture was quite good, the side table at the couch was close to falling apart - I did not feel comfortable to put anything heavy on it.

Great Central location add a...
Liked: Location is fantastic and value was good
Disliked: Layout of the unit was odd having the only shower downstairs by the entrance and only one toilet upstairs, but two sinks right next to the toilet. Given the size of the unit, they could’ve vastly improved its usability by putting hooks up on the walls, both by the entrance and upstairs - there was nowhere to hang anything like jackets. The den also takes up an odd amount of space so we ended up putting our suitcases in den because there are no luggage racks anywhere and there is no space other than the den to open up a suitcase. It seemed like it was thrown together in a rush to look nice without much thought put into the design and usability. The unit we were in, 604, is directly over a rooftop bar which blared music until 2 AM our first morning. Despite being warned about the noise, I’ve never experienced so much noise in any hotel ever in my life. However, it was only the first morning, so it might’ve just been a one off. Earplugs were also provided, which was a nice touch.

Passable
Liked: The flat was well equipped and clean.
Disliked: The automatic door was not functioning so I could not enter, even after following the steps to reset. It happened again at night which felt unsafe. The helpline number took a long time to respond, so I was stuck for a while.
