Great vibe and lobby. Bar on second floor very good. Staff good. Phone didn’t work. Carpets and washroom floors weren’t exactly clean and streets were noisy with street racing. Downtown now has panhandlers and people struggling in many ways in foyers and such which reflect changes to the community and it the facility.

Fantastic hotel. Friendly staff, clean rooms with great temperature control and amenities. Shoutout to the staff for helping me with keeping a bouquet of flowers cool in a fridge they had until I needed them. As well as setting aside a piece of clothing I forgot in the room so I could return and retrieve them.
