Nice decorated but noisy and no guest attention
Pros:

The apartment was nicely decorated, very clean and the furniture new. But...

Cons:

The apartment is extremely noisy, not only due to the public events next to the building but also due to heavy traffic day and night (motorbikes, heavy trucks...). The 10 (11) windows didn´t protect from the noise. No cooking pots in the kitchen (we chose the place to cook ourselves). We tried to get in contact with the management, several mails, no answer. No reception either. When we changed to another hotel after one horrible night we couldn´t give back the key and had to come back again just for this on our leaving day. So nice rooms, but no guest attention.

Pros:

I had to call for a code to get the key. It was not automatically emailed to me as promised. Hairs on the bed. If you are a light sleeper it was loud there at night. Fortunately, I am a heavy sleeper. Only one ac unit worked, but did keep the place cool enough. All in all an average stay

Poor customer service and inadequate amenities
Pros:

First - Location on hotels.com if completely off - Its not near the greenway !!!!! It is centrally located in the city.
If you like your stay to start off, being belittled by Standard management, given a room that someone else currently has the key too, waiting for them to figure out a new room, waiting for them to send an email with wifi details for the new room, and then NEVER over 4 days, 5 emails, 3 calls NEVER receiving a TV remote ( and its unable to be turned on without one) then this is your place. The place is not really stocked with what you may need, besides no remote, 4 hangers, no steamer/iron, place to put luggage if you don't want to leave on floor, found popcorn and balls of hair under couch ( while looking for remote) ,stairs ( elevator and key don't always work), Obviously not very clean as I am allergic to cats and it was clear someone had a cat prior to my stay.
If you would like to check in and get on with your trip, stay somewhere else.
It was nice to have my own toaster and fridge for bfast food.
I reached out directly to the standard / Ohio Shores prior to leaving this feedback and never received a response.

DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE! NO A/C! Tow from parking!
Pros:

This place is horrible!
They have no staff on site, and don't answer their phones after 10pm. They don't answer hotels.com chat / email for as long as 36 hours. They promise a double bed and a twin, and do not provide the 2nd bed - one room had NO 2nd bad, the other had bunk beds (eww). The A/C does not turn on at all, which resulted in an employee quitting (yes, really). Finally, they will tow your car even if you're parked and scan the QR code after giving it 30+ citations. You might get out of the citations, but can't get out of the $160 towing fee (cash payment only, very on the up and up, right?)

Booked 2 rooms for the weekend, and they were very different sizes, beds, and accommodations. Both were absolute let downs.

Book elsewhere.

Everything was good except for the scary AC noise in the bedroom
Pros:

Excellent location at reasonable price. It provides all the necessary items for a stay there, including washing machine+dryer and laundry detergent. Room was quite big and clean.

Cons:

There was constantly strange noise coming out of the AC in the bedroom. I asked on text and got no reply. The noice from the air conditioner was so loud that it coud scare you when you were sleeping. I had to move to the living room to sleep.

Great location, good value, but be aware that it is a short-term rental, not a hotel.
Pros:

Comfortable and very clean. Guests should be aware that this is not a hotel; it is a short-term apartment rental. There is no staff on the premises and no housekeeping while you are there. The full kitchen with some cooking utensils and dishes was appreciated. Free parking was very helpful, though guests should be aware that a smart phone is NECESSARY to get it validated. Building security was good as well. It was a ten-minute walk to the Convention Center, and I never felt unsafe, even at night. Overall it was a good experience, and I would book it again if in town.

Cons:

There were no instructions for the heating/cooling system, but I didn't really need it, so it wasn't a major problem. Given the lack of housekeeping services, some basic cleaning tools (e.g. broom and dustpan) would have been helpful. The loveseat in the sitting area was adequate, but a couple of armchairs would have been more comfortable.

Passable
Pros:

Clean

Cons:

Was booked for a room and the lock box didn't work ended up being empty. Got another room and then has issues with the Internet. Paid for early check in but the code did not work. So I checked in later.

Pros:

The apartment was cute and easy to get to. The address is listed wrong though and i was not able to get ahold of anyone to confirm this. Also couldnt get the wifi to connect with the provided password.
Comfy apartment with a great location though! Highly recommend Pins across the street and Freedom A La Cart just a short walk away!

Easy and convenient downtown spot
Pros:

Great location downtown. Free validated parking next to the building was excellent! Clean open and airy space

Cons:

Loud and obvious noise from the bars across the street. Worse noise from tenants or other guests in the hall until 4 am. Bring a sound machine!

Nice Apartment
Pros:

Apartment was very nice. We had a wonderful stay. Only complaint is that the address on the site showed the address as 174 East Long St. and it is actually WEST Long St. This made a big difference in our ability to walk to the concert we were attending. We ended up having to uber both ways because it was too far to walk.

Not impressed
Pros:

Did not receive the initial email with check in instructions. Had to get direction from a tenant. Parking app did not work as expected. They wanted to charge me extra. Clocks were wrong making check out very rushed. Lukewarm water in the shower .

Pros:

I didn’t get the email or realize I was waiting on an email until almost 4pm and I called and it was sent to me. Before that, I had 2 different addresses. When I booked, Expedia showed an address closer to nationwide arena on long street. No such place existed. The address we ended up going to was not within walking distance to nationwide. Not like the one I thought I was booking was. Once checked in, we were in a hurry and had to put the shower curtain back together which is wobbly and could fall again at any moment. The ac only works in the bedroom.
