It seemed like the name indicated it was in the center of the downtown, but it is not. That was disappointing and I would not have booked the room in this location if I had of known.

The shopping center was right across the street; friends in town highly recommended this hotel. Central location and acess to shopping malls, restaurant, and the QueensWay is excellent.

I was not satisfied with the room cleaning after the first night there. I returned to the hotel at 2 PM after a morning of meetings and expected to take a nap before going out again. Room had not been cleaned at that point. Not acceptable. I rented the room to USE for the time I was there. Cleaning at least by noon of the day should be normal. Problem not the cleaner, but the scheduling, I guess.

The package we purchased included breakfast. The guy checking us in said it didn't show we paid for the breakfast. He eventually agreed to call Travelocity but "later", as it would take 30 minutes to do. I never heard back from him. In the morning, we went to front desk to question further. Woman checked computer, and said yes it's right there in your reservation. She was helpful.

Unless you want to sleep in late, it's fine.

Pros: Location, efficiency, convenience.
Cons: Noise insulation
Location: Drugstore and restaurant across the street, easy access to the expressway
Everything about the hotel is more than satisfactory, with the exception of the incredible amount of noise from the hallway starting early in the morning. Every door slam, conversation, rattling of keys, they all sound as if they're in the room with you. The fact that the room has hardwood floors rather than carpeting just adds to the echo effect. Otherwise, the convenient location, easy entrance and parking, and simple check in made this a very efficient stay. Anyone wanting good value, while getting up early and on their way would not be disappointed.
