Disliked: Room comfort
Great units but needs improvement
I believe there’s room for improvement in several areas. First, the comfort of the mattress in my unit was poor, it was badly sunken, which made sleeping difficult and caused me and my partner back pain. Additionally, I was disappointed to find that WhyHotel doesn’t offer king beds; I was informed that only queen beds are available. Customer service was inconsistent, while some staff members were friendly, others were unhelpful or rude. I also noticed an issue with the blankets, as they always had some sort of sticky residue on them. The rug in the living room shed a lot of fluff, creating a mess. During my seven night stay, I was unable to schedule any cleaning service, which I found quite inconvenient. The mugs and bowls provided were too small for comfort, and I had to request a replacement frying pan, as the one in my unit was old and worn out. Overall, while WhyHotel offers great units, I believe the guest experience could be significantly improved by addressing these issues and better anticipating guests' needs.

Great amenities at your finger tips. But the beds and sofas are super hard. Only 10 minutes of hot water for showers or soaking bath. You can hear or feel walking from unit above.

Not your traditional Hotel experience but would definitely consider staying here again. I would suggest a TV in the bedrooms and not just the living space.

We will definitely use this brand for an extended stay vacation, with all it has to offer! We only needed a 2 night stay, so didn't need to cook but the coffee pods and creamer are a wonderful thing to wake up to!

Parking was way more complicated than needed, and was hard to get any help From the front desk. Also, paying to park is outrageous considering there is free parking outside. The place was nice but there needs to be better explanation ahead of time regarding parking and check in.
