Recommend this property to everyone. Very spacious, clean and the bed was the best I’ve slept in. Feel asleep fast and woke up refreshed in this bed. Walking distance to food and cafes. Safe area to walk around.

The room was clean and the bed was the softest I’ve ever slept in. Woke up refreshed and ready for my day. I’d recommend this hotel to everyone. The street it’s on has so many amenities to eat and hang out. Big and spacious room. I stayed in room 203.

The bathroom smelled terrible like sewers, carpet had a moldy stench and the shower..let's just say the photos did not make it seem like my coworker could watch me shower! The parking lot machines were not working in the morning and delayed our commute by 15 minutes. There was a party above our room until 11

The suite itself was absolutely beautiful! The building it is in, and the confusing and very long maze to find your room was not good at all. Definitely, not a safe feeling for a woman walking alone! Otherwise, the room itself was lovely... huge, with thee most gorgeous bathroom I have ever seen in a hotel room! The soaker tub was so nice!!

What a lovely hotel! Great neighbourhood. Easy check-in. My room was beautiful and very comfortable. There’s a cafe & restaurant attached to the building, as well as underground parking. It was all very convenient on a cold winter day. Because it’s an older building my room was not very sound proof. The room is right over the event space & main road, so there was lots of hustle and bustle. Other rooms may be quieter. I personally didn’t find the noise disruptive, but something to keep in mind for people with children, or those who are sensitive to sound. I would absolutely book the exact same room again though! Loved my stay!
