The staff was accommodating but overall we didn’t have a positive experience
Pros:

Location. Walking distance to shops & restaurants

Cons:

The shower faucet came off while showering; very inconvenient & disruptive. Eventually asked to move to another room when the faucet kept falling off. Was given a bigger room with a kitchenette. However, had to call for housekeeping to change the sheets as one of the bedsheets had a dirty stain

Deceiving
Pros:

Proximity to central area. Complimentary pass for public transit.

Cons:

Booked a suite with a separate bedroom for four guests and we were all crowded. The annoying washroom fan constantly on, windows did not close properly. One small bedroom with a queen bed no night stands, heater touching the bed cannot be turned on without having the heat in your face.

I wouldn’t stay there again.
Pros:

It was an ok location. Rooms were big.

Cons:

The mini fridge was not working. I didn’t know all my food was spoiled the next day. Microwave and coffee maker also wasn’t working. They were all plugged in so I’m not sure why. I told the front desk. They didn’t do anything. Sauna wasn’t working one of the days either.

Pros:

The room was comfortable and clean, really enjoyed the bed and the spaciousness. The bathroom was great! I really did like the close proximity to the city and parking was good.

Cons:

There was a bit of a issue checking in, I handed my ID to staff and she checked me in as the wrong person. I asked her to double check and she kept saying a different name even though I told her my name and she had my ID to confirm. A bit of a hassle but she was able to fix it.
