Honest review. Were ready to give a good review because the space itself is nice, but things regressed quickly. Company calls themselves Elite Rentals, nothing elite here. Property was clean, nice bathroom, comfortable bed & pillows, complimentary coffee & snacks available. Easy entry to the room via door code. At first, we were impressed. HOWEVER Property shares a wall with a separate unit. A padlocked but hollow-core door is between. The door provides absolutely no sound privacy. We could hear neighbors' conversations clearly, hear the microwave, even heard when they opened cans of soda. They were up until ~3am both nights talking, which made it a challenge getting a good night sleep. You'd think the owners would install a soundproof door, but no such luck. Plus, we plugged in the iron provided in the room to the outlet under the TV.....really the only accessible outlet without getting into a yoga pose to plug in......it immediately broke a circuit, knocking out the outlet & TV from working. No breaker box or reset switch in the room to fix it. Surprising they don't have an electrical system to handle their own appliances. Owners said they'd have to ask the neighbors (the loud ones) to flip the breaker, but it was never fixed. So we ended up without an iron, without a TV, and 2 poor nights of sleep. Kinda defeats the purpose of renting a place to stay. But at least we got free small bags of Fritos & Ruffles! Conclusion - we won't be back!
