Our suite here was amazing. Tons of space, beautiful soaker tub, and overall, we had such a wonderful time here. It was nice to have the couch and table and chairs for sitting and the mini fridge was great for keeping some snacks. Would absolutely recommend. The only small downfall was the Holyrood suite faces the street on the first floor and with our window open to keep it cool at night it was a bit loud for such a quiet area. We absolutely loved the location. Walking distance to the main heart of the city but just outside so it was quiet and away from crowds. Dozens of fast food and dining places. Would stay here again.

We were surprised that the breakfast was not included with our room. Booking through Expedia breakfast was not included, however we were told if we had booked using hotels site, it would have been. Otherwise it was a good stay.
