Great stay, great location for what we needed.

Our stay worked out great. The apartment was nice and clean. It was a neutral location to everything that we needed to do. It included parking so there wasn’t any up charges. Front desk concierge very helpful. We would definatly stay there again.

The Apartments are really good value for money and ideal for groups wanting to share communal spaces. The surrounding area isn’t the best & the games room needs refreshing as everything is looking old & ruined. The golf simulator was fun. And the bar adjoined to the Civic is really good too, lots of drinking options, great food & brilliant staff.

Lovely stay

We had the gallery apartment at the Civic. There neighborhood was quiet and there was a nice convenience store nearby to get any basic necessities and groceries. It was a great space, plenty of room and airy with high ceilings like that of a loft style apartment. Amenities in the kitchen were plentiful and even some basic ingredients like butter and salt were provided. My only negative point would be that the blinds are quite see through and if your windows face the street, it can be quite bright still and made it harder to fall asleep.

The apartment itself was fine, but there was no replacement toilet paper around and I realized this during hours when the owner/management were unreachable; while I could’ve been replenished in the morning, I had to leave. It was too late.

My little peace

I stayed at the apt while my daughter was at her Freshman orientation and Saint Joseph University. Parking was right across the street and I felt safe (to me the MOST important thing). Liz and Mike were great with their communication!
