Pros:

the location is near the train line.

Cons:

it seems the suites are part of the hospital . I had to request clean towels on two occasions, as they were not replaced daily. there was no toaster available. shampoo, conditioner and body wash are provided in bottles and are shared by all customers. at the front, there is a ramp and another ramp but with a step . I witnessed two people almost fall over this step as it is not clearly marked.

Would not stay again
Pros:

The apartments were right next to the railway line so easy access. There was a lot of space. The rooms were clean, the beds comfortable. There was parking on site. Reception helpful when checking in.

Cons:

The apartment was obviously re-purposed from another function - the hallway was huge. All the suites, reception told us were accessible so the bathroom was huge so not really comfortable and water all over the bathroom floor. Tried to change rooms but couldn't. Price for 3 people was over $400 per night so expected a lot more. Freezer didn't work, no ice available and we were told someone would look at it. Finally got ice in freezer on our second morning when checking out. Parking was $28 a night - city prices! Hopped on train to find better food options than available near accommodation.

Pros:

Conveniently located. Easy off street parking. Check in was smooth and we were able to extend to a late checkout with ease.

Situated on a one way street which makes it a little complicated if you miss where you’re going
