Location is great, room was spacious, had a small balcony, very clean. There is no reception desk in this hotel, you have to go to the hotel next door to check in. There is an underground parkade wlth 5'10" clearance, and they also have on-site parking at the back of the hotel. Overall, very nice hotel, would stay there again.
