Smaller location made the staff attentive and on point. Complimentary bikes and morning coffee spread a nice touch. Only downside was the room faced the central shared atrium where voices carried in the morning

Can't say enough great things about this property. The location is fantastic (as long as you want to be in the middle of a fun and busy area packed with lots of great bars, restaurants and shops), the rooftop bar has spectacular views, the rooms are very well appointed and feel huge because of the layout, and the service was very attentive. And it really wasn't that expensive, relative to some other more well-known properties on King Street. All around, we had a great experience and would highly recommend The Nickel!
