Fastest check-in I've ever had at a hotel. My forms were printed and waiting for me when I walked in the door. I had my room keys less than 60 seconds after I arrived. Room was clean and spacious, building is well located, and the staff was excellent.

Staff failed to restock room so we had to request replenishment, and also had trouble getting the TV to work for net casting. View from room was less than ideal. Otherwise, our stay was quite pleasant and the staff were wonderful.

The room was very clean and perfect size for 2 people. Ample room for bags and bed very comfortable. Reception staff were very friendly and helpful. There are a lot of places to eat and drink within a few minutes walking distance. The room is a little dark as we booked the studio but everything else more than made up for it.

I was fortunate enough to be able to check in early. I don’t know if this is regular policy, but it was gratefully accepted. The hotel is well situated and easily walkable to Queen Street, the waterfront, Woolworth’s, restaurants, and other places in the CBD.
