We would stay at this location again. Very friendly staff. Full breakfast is complimentary with great options! The beds were soooo comfy! It felt like the King bed was a California king? There is parking on site for a fee (outside and underground)- worth the cost for extra security in my opinion. The location is downtown which goes without saying, there will be noise and typical evidence of an at-risk community. And truthfully, quite mild compared to other large cities. We have two young kids and we felt safe in the neighbourbood- the hotel is only a few blocks from lots of shopping/food.

We stayed in room 1140, a spacious two bedroom suite. Room was clean with a well stocked kitchen. Room service every day (something we hardly see anymore in Ontario post COVID). The staff are extremely friendly. Breakfast was wonderful. Very secure, everything must be accessed by key card: outside doors, elevators, breakfast area, business centre, etc.

The free breakfast was good, cleanliness was bad, we found a 2 pcs of very hard french fries under the cover, informed the front desk personnel, she blamed it on us, telling us that it might be on our end because no one eats in the room. Hiw did she know? She did not even apologize and literally telling us that it’s on our end that ther was a french fries under the cover.
