Breakfast was great. Nice selection and quality juice, coffee and baked good. Enjoyed the egg omelette, ham and beans on the hot station. Clean and eco friendly! Check in was smooth as was check out. Room was clean and very spacious, ideal. Bed so comfy!!! Great for long stays as you have a kitchenette. Elevators good. Our room was next to the elevator on the 14th floor and it didn't bother us. Parking is great. Surrounding area is awesome! Ubers plentiful and not too far from the Ctrain! We love staying in this hotel. Always friendly.
