Very pleasant stay! The 3 very cheerful young ladies at reception - Anjo, Elvie, & Malohat were incredibly welcoming and genuinely engaged in providing great customer service. Anjo went above and beyond in handling a request. The room decor was current, cozy and comfortable. Great location with a multitude of restaurants and restaurants both in house and close by. We will stay again.

Little gem hidden downtown. We booked this hotel as close proximity to Save On Memorial to see Bryan Adams, not much else available at the time. Very surprised and impressed with the hotel and rooms, super clean and well maintained and great staff! Would recommend!

Fantastic location! You're not going to find a better and more convenient location in the City! Incredibly friendly staff! The place was noisy, parties going on down the hall when we were there, but to be expected in the heart of the action I suppose. Would recommend it!

Great location; easy walk from ferry terminal and central to many area attractions or easy to get to transportation for outlying attractions. Room was a bit tight, but we were not there to spend time in room except for resting and showering, so that really did not concern us. Would stay here again. Staff was great also.
