Concerned mirrors were cracked in closet on arrival - this should be mentioned ahead and repaired as I was concerned I’d be liable since leaving a security deposit. Also had issues connecting to wifi

Confusing, because we didn’t receive information before we arrived. No one at the building seem to know how to check in. It was ultimately all fine but a little confusing.

The room could have been cleaner. There was only the fitted sheet and a duvet on the bed. Thought it odd that there wasn’t a flat sheet on the bed. Could not control temperature in the room. Only one working elevator so checking in took longer than expected. There had also been a false fire alarm that afternoon which may have affected ability to clean thoroughly.

Definitely difficulties getting into the place. No concierge services, just security? Not very helpful. Place was overall dusty and worn. Mattress and broken door on deck? Careful on floor boards, I snagged my feet. And the walls were filthy. Almost like they were remodeling while renting? What I liked was location, space and available coffee and coffee machine. We came in very late, and the on call support stayed with us to help navigate our parking and access to the condo.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I truly wish I had seen the reviews on this property before I booked. I had the worst experience with my check-in and stay. The elevators were constantly broken and not working. Upon my check in, I had to lug my heavy suitcase up 18 flights of stairs to get to my floor. My room was still not ready at 4:55pm as the cleaner was still doing prepping my room for me. The wait times to use the elevators were long and frustrating when they were intermittently working. I had to check-in virtually online before arrival, then again in person with the security at the front desk which was quite frustrating. Lastly, the unit itself had lots of wear and stains on walls and upholstery for being a fairly new building. It didn't feel very clean. I would avoid this place at all costs.

I booked this property through Expedia and expected all communication and payments to be handled securely through the platform. However, I received a confusing phone call from a lady who said we needed to pay a $300 deposit through a link she would send by email before check-in. Her English was difficult to understand, and after several attempts, we finally found two of her emails in our junk folder. We couldn’t check in until we paid the deposit through that link, and felt very suspicious. The whole experience made us extremely uncomfortable, and we only proceeded with the payment hoping it wasn’t a scam. Even though the booking was listed as non-refundable, I’m requesting a refund due to how unsafe and misleading this process felt. This situation was not what we expected from an Expedia booking. ***Great location downtown and that’s it

the room wasn’t clean - leftover food in the fridge from the last client, and clothes in the washer/dryer made us question whether the place was cleaned at all. the mirror was cracked, and it was also very difficult to check into the place. it took us almost an hour to get checked in as receptionist staff were not helpful and there were many other people there too having the same difficulties.

Terrible. When you get to the hotel to check inn tired of traveling. They send you a link to download and fill information to pay a security deposit. And that take hours instead of have someone at front desk to take care of that. Also the apartment was under construction missing wood floor etc.

One night too many. This accommodation took the cake for the dirtiest, most inconvenient and worst customer service ive ever experienced. I was almost impressed on how bad of shape this room was, but then i realized no effort was put in to maintaining it in the first place. There is so many negative things i want to say about this place, i dont know where to begin. Room: Check-in was at 16:00. Never received instruction on how to check in from the host until 17:00. They host said the room was "on the verge of being finished" when we checked in. When opening our door to the room, I was shocked to say the least. It was a total pigs pen. Bedding all over the floors, pillows from the couch on the floor, old urine from the previous guest in the toilet, old food in the counter, cigarette butts on the Patio. It looked like someone had trashed the place. Upon closer review of the property, things got worse. There were floor boards missing and loose. You could see the plywood under the hardwood. Broken mirrors, broken screens on the windows. Scratches all over the walls as well as holes and crackes in the ceiling and walls. There was red/yellow mildew in the showers. Broken toilet seats. An inch of mold and dust under appliances The place looked absolutely trashed. This wasnt a single persons doing, all this damage had happened over the course of months and multiple stays. The ad says it was a "Luxury" condo on expedia. Luxury is the last word i would use to describe this place

Check-in process wasn’t clear and was hard to get hold of the property company to get help. Apartment is very worn and needs furniture and furnishings updated. Cracked bathroom counter, shower pools at your feet in the tub so you’re standing in dirty water while trying to get clean, couch sinks into the middle, sofa bed is very uncomfortable as you can feel the whole frame underneath. Normal bed sinks in the middle and uncomfortable, floors are very worn, balcony subpar condition and bedding for sofa bed as well as towel for the 3rd person was still in the dryer when we got there. Overall the apartment wasn’t presented very well and the hallway smells of garbage due to the garbage room between the elevators. Wouldn’t recommend until these things have been improved in some way. They say $30/night for parking but don’t tell you where that price can be achieved as the closest one we parked at we paid $63 from about 1:30pm until 11am the next day. The only good thing about the place was the location, walking distance to CN Tower & Ripley’s Aquarium.
