Very helpful staff. Unlimited coffee, tea and water in lobby. Extremely clean upon entry, clean room, linens etc;Free laundry, Pool access. Plenty of access to bottled water and clean towels. We were very pleased. Always 2 attendants at reception. Very clean washroom in lobby. Only caveat was that their parking was a touch tight for our mini van, but we were happy that there was parking available onsite. Excellent stay. Surpassed our expectations. Safe neighbourhood and accessible by public transportation with grocery store around the block!

Very good location, parking underground (for approximately $40/day - which I did not realize 😫), friendly staff and clean rooms. There’s a gym, snacks and frozen meals available 24-7, a retro diner in the hotel that has good burgers and also vegan options. The bathroom in my room had the BEST lighting on the mirror, made my makeup routine easy.
