Units at Palm Breeze Apartment Suites are heated and cooled using an HVAC system called a PTAC. You have likely seen this same system used in hotels, and are through wall units that are sized to heat and cool the entire apartment without duct work running to every space. We do provide a ceiling fan for the bedroom but please note, the HVAC PTAC unit is located in the living room and does not have a direct duct or feed to the kitchen, bathroom or bedroom.

Nice spot for the price.

Because of the price I will give five stars. I used it just for a place to sleep for a night. Conveniently located within walking distance to the university's downtown bar / club scene. There's lots of places to hang out and eat. It's a college town though with lots of college students around. The bed was comfy I had all the amenities needed. The train and train horn were a little surprising but not unlivable. It only went off once a day when we were there. Surprises you but makes for a great story and video. Lol It's small but perfect for two with big closet. The host was easy to communicate with and everything went smoothly. Will definitely rent again. It's a property management company so I'm sure they have several other properties in the area. I consider this place more of a "need a place to stay for cheap" It's five stars all the way in that area! If you're looking for something more upscale maybe look at their other properties. It's in an older duplex type building with two floors. We didn't hear any neighbors when we were there but other people live in the other units and pretty sure at least one other one is a rental. Parking is scarce so only one vehicle. It has been repainted and updated a little. If it was being rated by a hotel or one of those websites it would probably get a three out of five for fanciness if that makes sense. I would definitely stay again if I needed to find cheaper spot to stay.
