As far as I can tell, the “Avalon hotel“ owns a few condos in the building and rents them out. The concierge does not work for the hotel, and the staff, who are pleasant and helpful, are not on site outside the posted hours, unless you pay $50 to be checked in after 10 PM. The Avalon does not have any control over the temperature of the condos, and the thermostats in the units don’t work, but staff advised me to just open the window, which regulated the temperature well enough. The unit was clean and well-maintained. The kitchenette includes a Nespresso coffee machine and a small dishwasher in addition to the usual appliances. The washer/dryer broke down partway through the wash cycle, and staff did not know how to fix it, but I am not surprised that was outside their field of expertise. The building is centrally located and convenient to absolutely everything. It also has a gym furnished with pretty much everything you will need. An enjoyable stay.
