Room was clean and the front desk staff was very friendly. The cafe inside the hotel is very expensive... $20 for a latte and a breakfast sandwich. It's also a little noisy - I could hear every time a door was closed.

Courteous staff that found us a fan for our room. The room design was .... Choices were made. There's a frosted glass wall in the shower, which means you can see the other person silhouette in the shower. Plus turning on the bathroom light will illuminate the whole room. So be careful using the washroom at night. The breakfast cafe is vastly overpriced, and just go to any of the other restaurants on the street, for better and cheaper fare. The only plus it offers is it is attached to the hotel.

It was an okay stay, but not great. The pictures of the room showed a fridge and we did not have one in our room. I was told later that we have to request a fridge which seems odd. As a result, we unfortunately had some food go bad since we thought we'd have a fridge. I didn't like the room design either, the translucent glass wall between the room and the shower is bothersome, if someone goes into the bathroom at the middle of the night then the light shines directly into the room at the bed. The bathroom door was also creaky when closing. Despite our room being down the hall, you could hear the elevator chime every time someone used it. I thought parking was overpriced ($20/day) and the parking spots are extremely narrow. I frequently noticed larger vehicles taking up 2 spaces which was frustrating. Location is great and the staff are friendly, but I'm not sure if I'd stay here again.
