Ikana - Hotel

I don’t typically leave reviews but as a person who relies on reviews when booking accommodations I thought mine may be helpful. First off unfortunately there was a mixup and we were given the wrong apartment and were not able to switch due to no vacancy in the unit. After discussing with the host they offered some solutions that were appreciated. The apartment was just as beautiful and large as in the pictures. It’s decorated with quality furniture and great design. The biggest issue is the location. It’s on a very busy side road that’s also set back from the 302 highway making it extremely loud. We could hear traffic the entire time. It’s also not a well soundproofed building so we could literally hear a pin drop from the people staying above us. We were woken up very early in the am due to the kids upstairs. I’d recommend earplugs or a noise machine. In our apartment one of the mattresses was extremely comfortable whereas the other very hard. The value for the apartment is very good given it’s space and vibe but if you are wanting a peaceful, quiet stay I would not recommend due to noise and location. I will also add the morning we were about to leave we turned on the ac and it was not working. It was not a big deal as we were checking out shortly after but thought I would mention. On a positive the hosts were quick to respond and pleasant to deal with. All in all the pictures are accurate but I’d prefer something quieter and within walking distance to the restaurants.
