Location is excellent, staff are friendly and prompt. We had a jr King suite but although it had a coffee maker/fridge/microwave it did not have any cutlery. Would also like to see better quality toilet paper. Or better yet bedets. I would recommend and stay again

It was great having a pet friendly hotel close to everything. The hotel is beautiful. Room was clean. What I didn't like was that a wall and armoire blocked the window from the bed. I didn't realize how much I need to see a window until staying here. I would want a different configuration next time.

Overall our stay was very good. We loved the location and general presentation of the hotel. Staff are welcoming and know what they're doing. Our rooms were generally comfortable but we did notice that noise from the hallways and ice machine are very pronounced. Street noise was not an issue. We did have one complaint about excessive noise from a neighbouring room and the front desk person resolved it in moments. We really appreciated that. Overall a good stay. There are some details that could improve like larger towels and pillows and maybe some more bathroom amenities but these are small inconveniences.

Staff were very helpful. Great location. I will say the toilets are jet powered and may loosen a filling. It's quite jarring. But I got used to it.
