An absolutely great hotel! Parking around downtown is awful but the hotel was great. If driving to town, leave the car somewhere far from downtown and you'll be fine.

Nice stay!

Spacious room. Comfortable beds and easy check in. Rooms were ready (3) when we arrived in the morning. We did not purchase the breakfast package. Centrally located so easy to get around. As in most European hotels, there is no refrigerator or a.c. but room was comfortable in September with window open.

Excellent location with fun décor and a very clean space. Convenient access to shopping, transit, and restaurants. The room was well stocked with quality linens, two pillows per person, and good towels. The only downside was the lack of a kettle and fridge. Overall, we greatly enjoyed our stay.

Loved the area, close to everything. As well as coffee in the room. There was also a free coffee machine and lemon water to drink in the lobby. A microwave was available in the lobby too. The room was a little tight as far as size goes. It was difficult for both of us to open our suitcases at the same time. Other than that it was clean. I would recommend it to anyone.
