poor insulation loud noise
the hotel offered underground parking and that was great when it rained. the cleaning staff was also very nice.
the sound insulation was pretty bad. my room was near the stairs at the back. i could hear every single word of people walking by as if there was no wall there at all. this was very disturbing late at night.

Solid Stay with Convenient Amenities

complimentary bus tickets ample space convenient location
The location proved very convenient, especially with the complimentary bus tickets that facilitated easy access to various attractions. The room size offered ample space, and the inclusion of amenities like a fridge and coffee maker was a definite plus. I found the underground parkade to be a hidden gem, since there was always plenty of room available.
I thought the furniture could use a bit of updating.
