Pros:

I was extremely surprised at how quiet the place is even if we're in close distance to the train tracks, the lighting in the whole building was a bit subdued but compared to other hotels I've been in where it's harsh lighting this was a nice change of pace. Also was surprised that this hotel had a pool and not once did I smell any lingering chlorine smell anywhere in the building.

Cons:

I wouldn't say this is a detractor, but my view was to put it best, quirky. I had a window that gave me a view of the roof and there was a second screen which I assume was to prevent birds from nesting. Not really bad but really didn't get some quality natural lighting

Cons:

I called ahead of time to make sure their pool was going to be open for my kids to swim. Closed at 7pm the first. That was alright but then closed at 2/3pm the next night and wouldn’t open till 9am. Then the manager wouldn’t be available till 6am the next day to get a refund for the night if I was to check out. Which I did check out and went to a different hotel. The ceiling was also leaking above one of the beds. We were on the bottom floor.

One I’ll remember not for any good reasons.
Pros:

The hotel looks nice.

Cons:

The lack of staff. Long line at check in. Only one person working. She would pause the line and answer the phone while 6 different people were waiting to be checked in. When we finally reached the front of the line…she gave us the wrong room number. We hauled everything to the fourth floor and couldn’t get into the room. We tried three others as we figured she was busy, frustrated and said the wrong number. I finally went back downstairs to the desk and she wasn’t there. I was also charged for Friday night although I canceled it. Overall…I will encourage our DU event to be held elsewhere next year. 1/10 rating.
