i found the location amazing. the scotia parkade offered super easy parking with inside walking to the hotel. i appreciated that the hotel validated the parking for me. the waterfront boardwalk was easily accessible, only about two blocks away.
I noticed the amenities were less than expected. There was no housekeeping for three nights.

A sweet escape in the city
easy parkingrestful spaceamazing flavouroutmoded decor
The hotel provided wonderful parking validation for the Scotia Parkade. Inside walking to the hotel was super easy. Our room provided a restful space and it was clean. Breakfast downstairs had the most amazing flavours. I felt completely secure. The area enabled me to wander about without any concern.
I noticed the decor felt somewhat outmoded. It could use a little modernisation. Some areas seemed a bit worn.
