I have lived at Normandie for ~7 months now, and I feel that 3 stars is the perfect rating for this apartment building. I live in a small one bedroom, in the courtyard area. Note that if you live in this area, you do *not* have access to an elevator for your apartment, like the website states. I did not find this out until after I signed my lease & was finally able to see the space. Here are the pros and cons: Pros: -Front desk staff is friendly and attentive when it comes to packages -Maintenance staff is quick to fix any issue I've had -Great location -Parking lot always has spots & they give you 2 parking passes -Amazon hub is nice Cons: -They allow tenants to smoke inside. It smells like cigarette smoke in my own apartment almost every day due to other tenants. I tried talking to staff about this, and had to email a few times to get a response. All they could do was provide a doorstopper to my neighbor and it hasn't really helped the smell. I see their website says smoke-free, that is definitely not true. -There are no "real" amenities besides the Amazon hub & parking. For the price I pay for my tiny apartment, I do not have a dishwasher, full size stove, access to a fitness facility, in suite-laundry, or an elevator. Intercom is an app on your phone that doesn't unlock the doors - I have to go through & unlock multiple doors every time I want to let a guest in or out. The rooftop deck is nice for the summer, but would benefit from some picnic tables or seating. I don't love living here, but also don't hate it. An OK place for anyone wanting a small apartment with good location. I believe that the smoking and elevator statements need to be properly adjusted on the website as they can be misleading.

EDIT 10/4/21: I have lived here for three years now. Recently moved from the Brownstone building into the old hotel proper. Honestly, this pair of apartments has been wonderful to live in. The only negative I have about the apartments is the high-gloss, oil based paint used in the apartments, but that's an aesthetic issue, and my own personal bias (I think eggshell finish is better for interior settings). Tenants are still pleasant, maintenance is still polite, prompt, and do their best when any issues are brought to light. Management is still absolutely wonderful and helpful. ------- I've spent just over a year living at the Normandie, and I have to say, I am pleased with life in my little studio. On occasion the radiators don't turn on, but they're quick to fix it. Maintenance crew has always been polite and courteous. Erin is an incredible manager, and she's always a joy to talk to! I also love that they're now doing text updates to keep tenants informed of what's going on in the buildings, especially now that they're doing a lot of renovations. When it comes to the tenants, we've had little to no issues with anyone. Yes, there is the occasional "green" smell, but everyone seems very quiet and pleasant. Honestly, when it comes to cost and location, along with such kind staff and the beauty I personally find in such historic buildings...I don't think I'd want to live anywhere else!
