It was a comfortable stay close to everything with 5 minute walk to Granby street. The staff was wonderful and the lobby, halls and room were clean. The only reason I’m giving 3 stars is the oppressive chemical smell in the room (310). I got used to it in 5 minutes and was surprised that my asthma didn’t kick in…

We stayed a couple of day in April 2026. Staff was amazing and very friendly. Hotel was clean one thing was only one elevator worked. Don’t know why the other was not working but we had to wait for the elevator more than necessary. Also the floor by the elevator in the main floor was peeling off, accident hazard. Rooms were above average. Parking lot is needed.
