6/10
The room was adequate but the kitchen facilities were bare bones: no cook top or oven; no pots or pans; no dish towels; only minimal dish ware; lighting was inadequate. Nespresso coffee maker made very small portions. There was a small refrigerator and microwave, however. The bathroom was similarly Spartan, but adequate. The Internet service was constantly cutting out and when it was connecting, it was very slow. The surrounding neighborhood was rundown and the view from the nice balcony was almost that of a war zone. There were very few coffee shops in the immediate area, and restaurants of any kind were nearly a mile away, except for one. The lack of onsight desk service was very awkward. Check in was difficult because the "pay at property" shown on Expedia is not possible since there is no desk service. Payment was online and only possible with a working phone and Internet service. (My phone ran out of power and I could not process a payment. Fortunately, the over-the-phone management were understanding and gave us access codes.) The Expedia description indicates that this property is a hotel. This is very misleading as the property is really a group of condos with no onsite desk/concierge services and the units have no cooking facilities as noted above. The description should be rewritten for greater accuracy and transparency.
