The building itself is nice however the unit was a bit dated and certain things/walls had damage to them. Upon entering we filled out a damage report sheet and it was longer than one would like to see considering how much we paid :/ also it did run out of hot water pretty fast while showering. Other than those things our stay was pleasant.
