The communication with the management was good and their response to helping us was excellent. The unfavorable aspects included the condo being older and in need of repairs. There were very dirty areas inside that the housekeeping had to come and clean. They needed to change sheets on the bed which were stained and dirty they also scrubbed the bathtub. The bath / shower is usable but needs replacing. Very beat up and dirty in appearance. We had to re- clean that ourselves. The door frame broke down and we had to call management again. They got someone out to us after an hour. He fixed the frame temporarily and we felt safe with the results. ##### Suzanne Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lana Oct 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Get Away Great stay for a couple days! ##### Lana Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Debi Jun 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication I'd rather not...it's hard enough already for us to be able to book when we want ;) we love this place xxxooo ##### Debi Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Rodolfo Apr 16, 2025 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities The AC broke on the second night. No one came to fix it. I had to leave the windows open while my were kids there. The drawers were broken so we couldn’t store our clothes in them. We weren’t able to wash one pot because it was extremely hot in the room. They left no dish soap or detergent to clean. They decided to charge $155 for an unclean towel, and one dish! Beware of these scammers! ##### Rodolfo Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deborah Jul 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication ##### Deborah Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Veronica Apr 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Awesome experience ##### Veronica Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Melinda May 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort ##### Melinda Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Cheap Hotels in Downtown Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Toronto-Toronto-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-n6057934-0-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Moon Palace The Grand Cancun - All-inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-The-Grand-At-Moon-Palace-All-Inclusive.h15194504.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Antonio-Hotels-JW-Marriott-San-Antonio-Hill-Country-Resort-Spa.h2841775.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt DFW - Connected to the airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Grand-Hyatt-DFW.h1209294.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Markham](https://www.expedia.ca/Markham-Hotels.d10353.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Westin At The Woodlands](https://www.expedia.ca/Conroe-Hotels-The-Westin-At-The-Woodlands.h13173066.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels near Cayman Islands](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Cayman-Islands-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d33-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [The Westin Dallas Fort Worth Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-The-Westin-Dallas-Fort-Worth-Airport.h1653.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Frisco Hotel at The Star](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Omni-Frisco-Hotel.h18919478.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Budweiser Stage](https://www.expedia.ca/Budweiser-Stage-Hotels.0-l6151394-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Home2 Suites by Hilton Lewisville Dallas](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Home2-Suites-By-Hilton-Lewisville-Dallas.h45970429.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Tulum Riviera Maya All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Chacalal-Hotels-Hilton-Tulum-All-Inclusive-Resort.h70502006.Hotel-Information) > > [Houston Airport Marriott at George Bush Intercontinental](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Houston-Airport-Marriott-At-George-Bush-Intercontinental.h22967.Hotel-Information) > > [Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Seneca-Niagara-Resort-Casino.h2238838.Hotel-Information) > > [AT&T Hotel & Conference Center at the University of Texas](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-ATT-Hotel-Conference-Center-At-The-University-Of-Texas.h2169414.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Isla Mujeres](https://www.expedia.ca/Isla-Mujeres-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d7925-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel & Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Conroe-Hotels-The-Woodlands-Waterway-Marriott-Hotel-Convention-Center.h907442.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Grand Pacific](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Hotel-Grand-Pacific.h788618.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton DFW Lakes Executive Conference Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Hilton-DFW-Lakes-Executive-Conference-Center.h6039.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency DFW International Airport - Adjacent to Terminal C](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-DFW.h22022.Hotel-Information) > > [Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Gaylord-Texan-Resort-Convention-Center.h985065.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Dallas - Richardson](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Dallas-Richardson.h18234.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [British Airways](https://www.expedia.ca/British-Airways-Flights.cBA.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Lisbon District (LIS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/lis/toronto-to-lisbon) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Kathmandu (KTM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ktm/toronto-to-kathmandu) > > [Flights from Delhi (DEL) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/del/yvr/delhi-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yyc/vancouver-to-calgary) ### Packages
