Great stay. Perfect room for a family with the main room with queen bed and a semi separate room with bunk for the kids. Wish it wasn’t valet parking. Valet parking attendees were wonderful, it just seemed unnecessary.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property a lot! The staff was excellent from the front desk to the valet parking to the cleaning crew. The only reason I just can’t give this place five stars is that the bed is kind of mediocre and the pillows were quite lumpy and uncomfortable. The bathroom was a little weird with the toilet being super close to one wall. But overall the place was impeccably clean, the staff was fantastic and the walkability of the area was fantastic. I would definitely stay here again. I might just bring my own pillow.

What could have been.
We didn't end up staying at the hotel. Upon check-in we discovered the air conditioning in the room was not working. Maintenance was quick to arrive with a fan, but did not even attempt to fix the problem. After a visit back to the front desk, they were also quick to get us into another room. However, it was not a like kind replacement. With another visit back to the front desk and a request for a refund, they were also quick to oblige with a full refund, and we were on our way to another hotel. They were apologetic and sympathized with the situation and gave us no problems when asking for a full refund. So I will say, the customer service is outstanding, and the location is great, but I can't say much about actually staying there.

I wouldn’t stay again.
The room was run down and the heating did not work, which was needed this time of year. I was on the ground floor near the guest services which was loud until after midnight. There was also a couple screaming at each other outside the room at 4.30am. The room felt exposed as a female traveler, with the front door being close to the street and the window at the back being in the car park. The front bedroom also has a window that faces into an alley. On positive notes, the front desk for check in and check out were great. The bed was clean and valet was convenient.
