Fantastic Location and Clean Rooms!!!

direct train short walk nice brewhouse
I went to a Blue Jays game, and this location was GREAT. The hotel is close to the UP train station, which runs straight to the airport. It took me only five minutes to walk to the stadium. I found a nice brew house just behind the hotel that I recommend. I would return. Hopefully, the prices will be better next time.
The bathroom had some hair on the floor. I told the front desk upon arrival that I would not need room service. The room lacked a 'do not disturb' door tag. The room had been serviced upon my return the first day.
