Be cautious with this property, and do not book it if you plan to have a car.
Management is hard-fast in their policies and don’t bend. BUT they don’t feel a need to honor their side of booking agreements.
We arrived in the morning so tried to get an early check in since it was shown as empty the days before. But no way! The codes would be sent at 4 pm and had to wait until then. Fair enough. That was the stated check in time. So we sat there waiting at 4 pm. At 4:15 I started sending messages to ask where it was. Took until about 4:40 before we could get it.
On the site we booked from it stated there was only one parking space reserved and any other vehicles would have to use nearby paid public parking. BUT after we got there, we were told no one could use the parking spot marked as reserved for the unit, and we did not even get the one spot as stated on the booking site. When I challenged the building manager his response was that there was NOT a free spot offered for anyone, and he had been there for 3 years, and he would have to see it in writing. I told him it was on the web site, so he said we would have to find it and show him. We did. In two places. He thanked us for pointing out the error, but said we still had to find other parking. After being challenged and told we had to “show it”, and then showing it only to have it blown off as a “mistake” that wouldn’t be honored says a lot about management of this property.
In and of itself this extra $36/day to park could be acceptable IF you know it and agree up front. HOWEVER… the real parking problem comes from availability. During evenings expect to drive around waiting for someone to leave to free up a space… but it has to be right when the driver gets there or the car in front of you also looking for a spot gets it, and once you pass, the car behind gets it. Took about :30 minutes on one occasion, and you may not be very near. All this while the parking spot inside the building garage marked as “Reserved” for that unit # sat empty. We pointed out this was the third place it was “written”. But in fairness we didn’t see that until we were there.
Also, various information and instructions in the “Welcome Book” do not match what is there.
All that being said, it was a nice and clean property.
