“In my opinion, this hotel's prime location near the ViaRail station and Pier 21 is unbeatable, especially if you want ocean views. I think that the gym is a bit undersized for serious workouts, but the dining is consistently a highlight, from breakfast to dinner. Overall, I feel it blends convenience with upscale features.”
