Everything was pretty much as advertised. It's a nice unit with everything in working order. As the title of the review suggests, the unit is rather dated with regards to cabinetry and bathroom fixtures. The shower control was especially annoying and easy to scald yourself if not very careful. The kitchen appliances were updated with stainless steel which was nice and the kitchen was fully furnished.
My only complaint was that on the last night, the unit directly about me (unit 804 I believe) had become occupied by some very rambunctious people. while inside the unit, the noise consisted of the dragging of furniture across some apparently tiled floors. The fact that I had a 10:00 AM check out and had already lost an hour of sleep due to the time change did nothing to lessen the stress and anxiety I was feeling. Being uncertain of exactly where the noise was coming from, I took the elevator up to the floor above me to confirm where the noise was coming from. Outside the unit was a security guard who was apparently already aware of the disturbance. Just outside that unit, a large clear trash bag containing beer bottles and red bull cans and loud voices could be heard coming from the unit. The security guard said he would handle the situation as he picked up the bag of trash and quietly walked away. The noise continued for at least two more hours after that which left me wondering why nothing was being done.
The property seems to have rather strict rules in place concerning these types of activities so it was disappointing to have my last night ruined by the rule breakers. I requested a late checkout because I didn't get much sleep but was told that decision would have to be made by the "7-11" person. Finally, after 7:00 AM, we were given one additional hour to check out. Truthfully, by that point, it didn't really matter. I was tired, irritated and ready to go. I'm the type of person who goes beyond what is required in terms of making sure a unit is clean when I leave so the cleaning staff had far less to do in getting it ready for the next occupant.
If I had one major complaint regarding the furnishings, it would have to be that the sofa looked nice but was extremely uncomfortable to sit or lay on. All I remember was the constant discomfort of feeling the wooden framework beneath the cushions which also seemed to constantly move out of place. Overall, the unit was ok and I would describe my stay at Phoenix East to be average.
