We were not told that noisy renovations would be happening all day. The instructions and information regarding the parkade were poor and our ticket wasn't validated resulting in us being overcharged for parking, with no means of being refunded.

Solo stay

As a solo female staying here didn’t feel very safe. The lock on my door didn’t work, there was lots of shouting, slamming doors etc. In the middle of the night. There was soggy toilet paper blocking the sink, didn’t feel very clean either. Likely wouldn’t stay here again
