I booked the two bed room but they did not have the room when I checked in! I had to sleep in the sofa bed and it was very uncomfortable. The floor was a little dirty. I found some snacks on the floor. The breakfast was nice, and the location was very convenient though.

Affordable and great for families, the staff was nice, and the beds were very comfortable. The location is great, it's a bit out of the busy downtown but a very close walk to nice restaurants and all the main attractions. I would stay here again.

Top notch service at front desk. The lounge was closed for the weekend.(throughout winter?). That is the reason for 3 stars on "faculities" That was a huge disappointment as there were no suitable restaurants to walk to on a cold winters night. That said, we would be happybto return. The ensuite kitchette is real nice and convenient! I wish i knew the young lady's name at the front desk. She made us feel special.
