6/10 Good

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.

8/10 Very Good

Overall very pleasant
The property was nice, check-in was easy, and the room was beautiful especially the bathroom. I wish when we checked in, someone showed us how to open the room door. We had to have a very nice couple who lived there, show us. I also thought it was odd that the door to get to the 4th floor from the car garage was unlocked all the time. You need a code or key to use the elevator and for most other doors, but not that one. It just didn’t seem safe for people on the 4th floor. Parking was a little pricey (almost $40), but overall it was a very pleasant stay.
