I visited Gary's when it was not at it's best. The first issue was the place was not ready in the afternoon at the time we agreed upon. I was a bit late and communicated that, but was never told they were running behind schedule and the place would not be ready for a couple hours. I was stressed and rushing not wanting to make the concierge late (who was very nice) and that rush was for no reason at all because the cleaner was still in the unit. When I did check in, I found the carpet was heavily stained and soiled. The vacuum in the unit did not have an attachment for carpet and it was clear that the carpet had been just vacuumed for some time with hard floor attachment. Because of this, there was lots of human hair on the surface of the carpet. The couch cushions were also soiled and stained to the point that I did not want to sit on them. I am a fellow host and not a neat freak by any means, I mention these things because they were quite bad. I was traveling alone and planned to spend most of my time outside so I decided to stay and just pass on the issues I found at checkout. If I let Gary know the first day, he may have been able to rectify some of the issues, but I didn't want to have to vacate the space on my short vacation for the intense cleaning needed. The wine key was broken and there was no coffee pods for the machine. Many light bulbs were out.
The location was fantastic and the price was great. Being inside the hotel was nice for both safety and proximity to breakfast and amenities. Gary was very nice, receptive to my feedback and I hope he is able to do some maintenance for future guests. All these issues can be fixed, and overall it is a very cool space, it just needed lots of love when I visited.
