Facilities and WiFi are reliable, but elevator delays frustrate guests badly. High-floor units face 15-30 minute waits on a single shared staircase.

Spacious apartments in a well-located building with good amenities (pool, gym, kitchen, washing machine). The main frustration is lifelong waits for elevators, sometimes 20-60 minutes, plus inconsistent cleaning at check-in. Staff are generally friendly when service is good, but housekeeping standards are unreliable.
