Stayed for 2 nights in January in a bachelor type suites with what appeared to be a king bed. It was very comfortable. The room had everything we needed. Kitchen was very clean. Pot and pans looked new. The stove appeared also like it was never used. Lots of extras in the room, i.e. desktop computer with printer, extra pillows, portable heaters if required, help yourself to extra towels down the hall. You save $10 if you do not need room service. Free use of laundry room. There was a very good buffet breakfast at no extra cost. Great downtown location with cafes and restaurants nearby. Very short walk to access the canal. Price very reasonable for the 2 nights. Will stay here again.

Parking is not that great. Had to park a street over that apparently was the hotels. Very happy with the cleanliness of the room. Way bigger than we thought it would be, though the furnishings were outdated. Definitely stay there again as it’s just of Elgin St. and walking to activities or nightclubs are all close by.

The location works very well for me with close proximity to events, a short walk or quick uber ride. The hotel is extremely clean and staff are helpful and courteous. It is my preferred place to stay in the downtown area.

Exactly at the right place and the right price. A bit noisy facing Elgin street but not for long. It’s a Saturday night after all! Excellent bed, excellent sleep. Good choice of breakfast selection. Loved the egg bites.
