shower moldsmoke smell
I was really frustrated with a few things. the bathroom had mold in the shower caulking. That was just gross. the smoke smell in the room was also a big turnoff. It reminded me of previous guests had been heavy smokers. these issues really detracted from the stay.

fantastic amenities!

The apartment was a great size and it was in a wonderful location. the gymnasium offered awesome amenities! the staff were great, and they addressed all my inquiries very fast. everything i needed was available on-site. It was quite handy. the hotel's location proved perfect for exploring the area.
I noticed the kitchen cabinets seemed a little cheap. also, the utensil drawer seemed slightly broken. It was somewhat difficult to use.

the apartment had a well-equipped full kitchen with appliances and utensils. two full bathrooms provided convenience and extra space (which i always appreciate). plentiful closet space easily accommodated all my belongings.
The towel rails in the bathroom seemed a little loose. I was concerned they might detach if used.
