The manager is super rude. We wanted to checkout late as we checked in very late. I called the hotel before making my booking and they said it was okay. Even after checking in, the woman at the front desk its all good and shouldn’t be an issue. But then the housekeeping and front desk disturbed our sleep twice and then charged us for checking out late. I still had no problem paying but she needs to know theres a way to talk to guests and she could’ve just said it nicely.

Property is being used to house the influx of refugees and immigrants to the area. It’s basically a very busy downtown apartment complex with the limits of its facility being tested. Staff was awesome, hotel was nice. Had to wait 10 plus minutes everytime we used the elevator and there were always large groups congregating in common areas and entrances/exits. Not what we expected when staying at a higher tier, waterfront property
