The rooms were spotless and clean. It came with amenities that were greatly appreciated. Not to mention the entire hotel room in general was great. Checking in and out was also super easy.

Great Location and amenities. I’m very comfortable apartment. Only thing is that the Only Give You One Key and you need a key to access everything in the building also, because it is an apartment complex, guest assistance is only available during working hours.

It was a bit confusing with certain things and it was hard because there was nobody that was physically there to talk to, so I had to constantly send an email out with my concerns

There was a situation that happened the first night that I got there where another guest was recording myself and my partner, but doing it kind of discreetly, and it made us uncomfortable. It was hard to come back from that incident because I felt as though nobody really cared about enough to address the situation and find a resolution

Unfortunately, our stay was very disappointing. The room was not cleaned to an acceptable standard upon arrival. After walking around the room for a short time, my socks became dirty, which made it clear the floors had not been properly cleaned. The bath mat was visibly stained, the walls were dirty and heavily scuffed, and the shower surround was old, worn, and showed visible signs of mold, which was both unpleasant and unhygienic.
The check-in process was also unnecessarily tedious and frustrating. To make matters worse, we were told that we were expected to clean the room ourselves and take out the trash before leaving. This is completely unacceptable and not what anyone should expect when booking a hotel through Hotels.com.
Overall, the cleanliness, condition of the room, and service fell well below reasonable hotel standards. I would not stay here again and would not recommend it to others.

2 night stay at The Forge at RIW
We enjoyed our stay at The Forge in their studio suite. It was clean, cozy, and fully furnished. The only downside with this unit is the plumbing piping must be on the other side of the bathroom wall as you could hear shaking & running water from the unit above when they flushed their toilet.

The area felt safe and there was a lot to do within walking distance. Check in and out was easy. The FAQ guide didn’t have a lot of specific information. The one bad thing was the WiFi was only available in the common area (pool, games etc), not in the actual room.

Almost Perfect
Facilities were wonderful. Very comfortable amenities. Perfect location and beautiful courtyard. However, we were disappointed as there were dirty linens in the washer and the dishwasher was full of moldy dishes. Really wish those few things hadn't spoiled it, otherwise I would have given this place 5 stars all the way.
