8.4 out of 10, Very good, (1008)
"Check-in was easy and smooth. The lady who helped me was very polite and nice. We didn't use any of the gym, pool, or other amenities but we were fine in our room and my dog was happy. The Doggie bags and trash bins outside the building were nice. A few homeless people yelling spooked me and the dog while we were out. The sliding door for the bathroom/closet was not secured so my husband smashed his finger while closing the door. The stopper on the rail needs to be moved so it won't slide too...
