There's no place to park to check-in. It is nice to have parking nearby. Staff took care of requests. Breakfast okay. But no lactose-free option. Bed comfortable. Room big. Loved the view from the 9th floor. Quiet. Great location.

It looks like it underwent renovations recently. It is a nicely designed, decorated and spacious hotel room with plenty of space. We loved that it had a kitchenette with a full size refrig and microwave too. the gym is a nice size with good quality equipment. We didn't eat there so cannot speak to the quality of the food. While I found the bed somewhat uncomfortable, admittedly, I do have back pain issues. Despite that, I would still recommend this hotel.

I booked a king, only had a double. Only thing said was “sorry”. Wifi was to laggy, tv wouldn’t even play properly. Said breakfast, no breakfast. Said pool, no pool… under renovation… I am a general contractor, there is no renovation taking place visibly, it’s all open and just closed. Under staffed maybe, not under renovation taking place to render said services.

the wash room didn't clean up, it looks so disgusting. I called the front desk twice to ask them clean up the wash room(hair in tub, stool stains on toilet seat and in the toilet). After45minutes, nobody came to clean up. I went to the front desk to ask to get a mew room. The man didn't say sorry to me. just repeat and repeat he has asked the room service. and he gave back the roon card to me and talked to the unber eat delivery guy. after another 15, the Wash room got cleaning. I will NOT come back to this hotel again.
