I liked that the property was close to the sky walk. Areas that need improvement: rugs in both bathrooms, needed nonslip covers in both tubs, more towel rods or hooks in bathroom to hand robes and towels, both rooms need nightstands, and main living area needed a table.

Did not know what to expect upon arrival but was pleased to find our own little apartment in this very modern building … loved the kitchen and availability of the in unit laundry. Only complaint I could say is no hair dryer (4 girls) and one night there was an alarm prompting evacuation in the middle of the morning but all in all had a very enjoyable experience

I have never had such an insulting travel experience. After checking in at Kasa, we were told to leave because they claimed Expedia hadn’t paid them. I spent 4 hours going back and forth between Kasa and Expedia, but in the end Kasa still kicked us out. Expedia was very helpful and quickly found us another hotel at no extra cost, but the treatment from Kasa was unacceptable and unprofessional. There was no on-site staff to assist us. I realized this is the difference compared to a hotel that offers true hospitality. The customer service was terrible and they didn’t know how to treat people.
