“The place is great and the staff are fantastic and always a pleasure to deal with. The parking garage is a little tight, and has annoying blind spots. You have to take it slow and hope others do as well. Outside of that everything has been fantastic”

“Despite years of promises, there are no EV chargers. Parking is always available, but rarely the best spots. Trucks park in compact only spots, and if you arrive after 6pm or so, you are sandwiched between concrete beams and other cars. The steam sauna breaks every few days or weeks, and the parking gates are perpetually broken. The garage has not been secured since January and multiple gates are left open because the manufacturer that makes the parts and motors for the parking gates is awful and duplicates are not in stock. Lots of roaches in the pool area and sky lounge at night despite weekly pest treatment.”
