I recently stayed at Whyhotel By Placemakr, Union Market for four nights. While the location near the metro and grocery store was ideal, my experience was marred by noise from traffic and lights that kept me up at night. The apartment was spacious and clean, but there were some downsides like limited parking and lack of access to facilities. Overall, it was a mixed experience. 🏢😕

I had a mixed experience during my stay. The two-bedroom apartment was spacious and clean, which I appreciated, but there were some drawbacks including noise from the nearby traffic and a lack of light-blocking curtains (definitely a challenge for a good night's sleep). Additionally, the parking situation could be improved as it felt insufficient for the number of guests allowed in the unit.

I had a pleasant stay overall at Whyhotel By Placemakr, Union Market, with a spacious 2-bedroom apartment that felt comfortable. However, the noise from the nearby train and lack of soundproof curtains made it tough to get a good night's sleep. Additionally, the parking situation was inadequate, as only one space is allocated for a unit that can accommodate up to four guests. 🚉✨
