Good location, & staff were lovely. The bed was very uncomfortable, parking was extra. The value for myself didn’t a
Pros:

Great location

Cons:

The bed was very hard & uncomfortable. The bedding had rips/ cuts in it. I considered going to sleep on the couch. Clean and neat & nice apartment but the value didn’t add up then parking on top was an extra charge per a night.

Excellent location, but the persistent pipe noise made it difficult to get a good night's sleep.
Pros:

The location was excellent for the trade show, and the unit was reasonably comfortable. However, the ongoing pipe noise significantly affected our ability to sleep.

Cons:

The unit had very noisy pipes throughout our stay. From Day 1 to Day 5, the noise was particularly disturbing, especially on Friday night, and significantly affected our comfort and sleep.

We were in the area for work and were generally out during the day. However, after a long day, we expected to be able to return to the unit and have a good night's sleep. Unfortunately, the constant pipe noise made this very difficult.

We were advised at check-out that the noise was caused by pipes on certain floors. If the issue is already known, we believe guests should not be allocated to those floors until the problem has been properly fixed.

One main issue was a big inconvenience and dampened our stay
Pros:

Location was great
Facilities were great
We were really looking forward to our stay however an issue with noise via hot water pipes within the building dampened our stay

Cons:

There was a piercing noise coming from hot water pipes constantly throughout the building and our room during our stay.
When we voiced our concern, this was a known issue, it was state that maintenance was onsite daily to fix (no maintenance people sighted). It was disappointing that this was a known issue that we were not advised about prior or at check in. When checking out, the apology was not sincere or empathetic

Pros:

Clean comfortable room

Cons:

There was a high pitched noise coming from directly outside our room, which kept us awake most of the night
Also, when booking the room, Parking was advertised as being included in the price, only to receive an email the day before arriving to say that it wasn't guaranteed , due to not providing the booking advertisement, i was charged for Parking, not happy with that at all

Nothing to add
