Great stay!
Clean, comfortable room. Check in and out was convenient. Good area in the city for walkable exploring! Parking was not always close by, depending on the time of day.

Overall good.
Hotel room was solid, could use some blackout curtains but overall good. Plenty of space and easy to access, plus a great location in the city

2/10 Poor

Great location, but be advised!
We were locked out from the start, everyone that we ran into was. Door code gets sent through an email that looks unrelated. Door codes (multiple) did not work when we called. It was reset while we were still there for someone else locking us out after 10 PM in the freezing cold. This is also not a hotel. Expect to clean and take out your own trash. No free parking as was originally listed on my booking search (I believe this has been fixed in the listing). Great location, poorly run, was not correctly advertised.

We stayed 2 nights at Swan House. It was super convenient - it was right in the middle of town, and we could walk to most things, and just a couple minutes walk to the bus stop for things farther away. The apartment was nice and clean and had everything we needed for our stay. They had a luggage storage room, which was very convenient since we arrived too early to check in. We dropped off the luggage and took a taxi to Sky Lagoon and had a wonderful few hours before time to check in. We had an issue with access - the code we were given to access the outside door and luggage room did not work. I messaged them, and they sent a text back within minutes with a different code so we could access the luggage room before check in. Absolutely lovely place!

2/10 Poor

This hotel is a scam. Beware before booking. We arrived at the swan house and our room was fully occupied. We waited hours in the lobby for an email from the hotel. The hotel workers said this happens consistently. We all had to find new hotel rooms. Note that Expedia is not helping and will not do anything because their customer service says they can’t do anything if hotels scam you. I would not book with Expedia in the future. We are also fairly certain the ‘excellent’ reviews for this hotel are fake. Expedia has also refused to post our valid review multiple times.

2/10 Poor

We had a terrible experience, unfortunately. We tried to change our booking, one week before we were scheduled to arrive. We were bounced between Expedia and Swan House, each company blamed the other for the problem, and in the end we were charged for the extra day, even though we did not check in until a day later. We still don't have our money back, now almost six weeks after our trip. Once at the property, the shower drain was clogged and overflowed into the bathroom. We called for maintenance, but no one ever came. Too bad because was otherwise a great location and cute room.

The property was in a great location and the instructions for entering the property were very clear. The coffee was nice and the kitchenette had what we needed. There is plenty of parking and save yourself the hassle and download the Parka App. Parking is FREE after 1800 until 0900 even on the street this property is on (P2). We could have saved ourselves 20mins trying to figure that out and it would have been a much smoother check in process. The bed was comfortable and the shower is great.

8/10 Very good

Great space but a few issues
The rooms were nice but there was a lot of problems. The staff meant to be attebtive but there is no onsite support and they can be slow to respond. There was only 2 pillows per room and those pillows were way too soft. Also no microwave or toaster.

10/10 Exceptional

We were very pleased with the condition of property and cleanliness. A couple blocks from downtown so very manageable and we didn’t have trouble finding parking but you do have to pay with the app. Only issue we had was the back door to fire escape didn’t lock. We tried to get it fixed in our time there but it wasn’t. We stayed for 3 nights and felt completely safe so we didn’t make a huge issue when nobody came to fix.
