Not bad, but could be better

The booking process was good. The location was pretty perfect. (We were there for a concert at Scotiabank Arena.) The condo was a little underwhelming though. The "queen sofabed" was extremely uncomfortable and there is no way that unit could accommodate 4 people unless two of them are very young children. The carpet in the bedroom seemed old/dirty and should be replaced. The towels that were provided were adequate but mismatched and no washcloths were provided. The bathroom was frustrating because there is not one inch of counter space and nowhere to hang towels so they are accessible when you get out of the shower. The water pressure in the shower was also very low. We did enjoy our stay and truly the location can't be beat, but if we return we would probably seek out accommodations with a better bathroom space and definitely need a better sleeping arrangement for our teenage son.

Was a little worried with a remote check in but everything went well once we re read the instructions. Communication was great if you had questions someone was texting you back within a reasonable time. Room had no issues everything was there to help you start and finish your day. The hide a bed was a little had but that didn’t bother me as I had the bed. The outside noise was steady would take some time to get use too for these country folk lol. Would I stay again, absolutely!

Safe, clean, and convenient. Perfect for us, a couple traveling with two children. Appreciated having our own space away from the kids when we needed it, and within walking distance of many points of interest. Highly recommend!

As soon as we walked into the apartment, we noticed towels in the machine, a wet, sopping mop, and a plunger near the toilet with questionable stuff on it! We also noticed that the bedroom floor was so warped that I tripped on it. The shower rod curtain fell off and hit my daughter‘s head, and there are no Band-Aids in the place. We ended up checking out early and scrambling to find another place. Surprisingly, they still charged us for the first night with only a very small discount. The pictures look very different than what we experienced. Also, rivet stays told Expedia that I told them about these issues five hours after I checked in, struggling to understand why that was a problem. I literally called each and every item as it happened.

we were satisfied with the stay, it just took a while to get checked in as we were a little early. It was clean and tidy, it looked like it had had some use and not as new as it showed on the photos. would recommend for a short stay. The pullout bed is very uncomfortable however so bare that in mind.

We arrived 20 minutes earlier before 4pm check in, the owner was great with communication and allowing us to go in early however the cleaners were still cleaning the room long after 4pm while we were in there. The bathroom was not cleaned well and very outdated, our coffee machine did not work, and the sheets / bed frame were not that clean either to sleep in. Great location for downtown however I’d only rate this a 3.5.

Worst Stay Ever – Unsafe, Dirty, and a Total Nightmare “ RivetStays condos “ Do yourself a favor and DO NOT stay here. This condo we had with is filthy, run-down, and unsafe. The furniture is broken and beat-up, the air conditioning barely works, and the place feels neglected from top to bottom. The biggest issue? The door lock was broken, and I ended up TRAPPED inside the condo. That is an unacceptable and dangerous situation, I had to threaten to call the fire department but it took them 40 min to send someone to open the condo . To make it worse, the so-called “cleaners” had left the front door wide open when they decided to show up and clean the dirt in the condo . Between the lack of security, the dirt, and the broken amenities, this unit is a complete nightmare. This is hands down one of the worst rental experiences I’ve ever had. Unsafe, dirty, and unlivable — avoid this place at all costs.
