There was no underground parking available. Limited due to the hotel being full. Many homeless people around the property, defecating on the properties next door.

Well located in a quiet residential area but only a 10 minute walk to downtown with lots of stores and restaurants. Room was nice. Only thing I didn’t like was the automatic bathroom light. When using the washroom in the middle of the night you don’t want the bright overhead light going on. There was a plug-in nightlight, so there was enough light to see. I couldn’t stop the overhead from going on every few minutes while in the bathroom. It was so annoying and messed up my sleep circadian rhythm. So I didn’t sleep well.

Parking was good but not accessible when you were checking in so it would be good if a sign was available to advise new arrivals that parking was only accessed after check in. Expensive but very clean quiet and well equipped.

The hotel stay was good. Rooms were clean and bed was comfortable. The negatives are the parking was an issue. Not enough underground parking and street parking was limited. An upgrade on the toilet paper quality would be nice. But overall would recommend.

Clean, comfortable room. It’s in an odd location but still within walking distance of the wharf area (although there were quite a few homeless and obviously drugged-up people on the streets; felt a little uncomfortable)

Looks all fairly new and looks tidy and clean, so that’s a big plus! There is a microwave but no cutlery, plates, cups ( other than some disposable ones ) no wine glasses so it feel’s very bear on that side.
