Beautifully renovated with little extras, like an espresso machine for guests open till late by the elevator that serves everything from espresso to French vanilla to mochachinos. There is also a laundry room for guests, which has vending machines, ice machines, an available bathroom, and a microwave for guest use, which came in handy. Everything about this day was fantastic, I wish I could’ve stayed longer.

Very nice

This is such a nice hotel. Staff is so pleasant, sent texts to check on us. We had the 2 queen beds with sofa and kitchen suite and it is much bigger than the equivalent at other hotels. Car valet always had our car ready for us as requested. The location is walkable to the waterfront, shopping, and restaurants. We were so happy with our choice.

The homeless and drugs around the area, specifically on Douglas were really concerning. If you weren’t back in your room around 4 or 5 pm it got questionable to be out on the street. On the other hand, the staff and specialty coffee was great.
