Spacious Luxury, everything was provided to make my stay a superbly memorable experience. There a supermarket nearby for shopping and there are lots of restaurants nearby. The area is quiet and easily accessible. You can have evening or morning walk peacefully around the area as long as you can know way back.

I had an amazing experience staying here! The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything I needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The atmosphere was peaceful and welcoming, and the location was perfect—close to everything, especially the airport which was a plus.

Conveniently located, nice new building. The room and the linens could've been a little bit cleaner. There was someone's hair left around the room, old food that remained in the fridge and a random SIM card in the bathroom. There should be bathroom mats in the bathroom since the door leaks water after a shower.

Terrible experience. 1. They only bring cleaners to clean every 4 days. 2. They rented out the roof top to a private event for people that don't even stay in the building. 3. The mattress board broke so the bed was crooked 4 The water in the shower will take a very long time to drain. 5. The place was unhygienic. I booked to go stay at the Lennox after 2 days into my stay at essence because it was so terrible.

My stay at The Essence Apartments was far from satisfactory. The bedding provided was unclean, which raised hygiene concerns from the outset. Essential amenities, such as a dryer, were missing, leading to unnecessary inconvenience. However, the most frustrating issue was an abrupt power outage that lasted over eight hours. Instead of resolving the situation, the host simply advised me to purchase electricity myself—an unacceptable response for a service that should have been included. Overall, poor management and lack of basic upkeep made for a frustrating experience.

Extremely Disappointing Stay – Not Recommended for Serious Travelers My experience at this property was far below acceptable standards. Upon arrival, the duvet had no cover and was stained with blood and other unidentifiable yellow and brownish marks. When I reported it to the staff, I was casually told to “just turn it around.” Eventually, I was given a duvet cover—but it was the wrong size (a queen for a king duvet), and I had to put it on myself. The bathroom was also dirty, with dried brown liquid around the faucet that staff refused to clean, despite me showing them photos right after check-in. Worse still, a repairman was sent to my room without any notice. He dismantled part of the washing machine, left exposed wires visible, and didn’t return—leaving the area messy and the machine unusable. Service was consistently unprofessional. Several staff members were distracted while being addressed, openly watching TikTok videos and even dancing with the sound blasting in the lobby. There were also no towels in the room, no trash bin in the bathroom, and a noticeable amount of hair in multiple areas. While those might seem minor, they added to an overall feeling of neglect. This place may suit guests coming to the city for a party weekend, but for anyone expecting a minimum level of hygiene and professionalism, I would not recommend
