The good: Very helpful staff. Great location and dining options. Quiet. Clean. The not quite as good: The mattress was not comfortable and bed creaked if you moved. The pool lights stay on all night and even on the 4th floor, with the blinds closed, they illuminate the room.

Great property but I received zero instructions from Expedia and how to get in the building after hours! If other tenants hadn't help me figure it out, I would be still outside! When I finally made it to the rental office, they blamed the lack of communications on Expedia! This is pretty unacceptable!
