Superb Stay

smooth check-infabulous viewcomfy bedcomfy lounge
Check-in was really smooth! Parking cost $15 a night. I had a two-bedroom apartment. The view from (1404) was fabulous. The balcony was a lovely size. The apartment was very clean. Beds were comfy. There were tvs in every room and a comfy lounge area.
The tv remote was not working perfectly, though it was a minor issue.
