We really enjoyed our stay!
Pros:

The location— loved being so near the university. The bar tender in the lobby was excellent (as was our food). Appreciated having a coffee maker (although the coffee pods are terrible), refrigerator, microwave, hair conditioner, 2 comfortable chairs in the room. Plenty of surface area for luggage and bathroom things.

Cons:

The coffee pods were either blonde roast or decaf (or tea). A dark or medium roast coffee would be much better. The upper terrace is very nice but it would be great to have a bar and food there as well. I think the website indicated 2 restaurants but that is not the case. There is a food menu in the bar. And there is the breakfast room on the 2nd floor.

Pros:

Buena hubicacion

Cons:

Muy caro para la calidad del hotel, los cargos por parqueo son exageradamente caros, el aire no funciona bien, las camas no son cómodas, no ponen vasos en las habitaciones. Me he quedado en hoteles mucho más baratos y mucho mejores.

Getting old, yet confortable with very nice staff.
Pros:

Le personnel très sympathique qui m’a changé de chambre car la première située du côté de l’autoroute était trop bruyante. La douche simple à utiliser avec pression et températures idéales. Pas utilisée mais il y a une piscine au 2e étage.
Et surtout un matelas king-size absolument divin! Il était parfait leur matelas.

Cons:

Les chambres sont un peu vieillissantes, on sent que c’est un grand hôtel qui a déjà vécu son temps. Les ascenseurs sont peu nombreux et c’est un peu long d’attendre à certains moments. Enfin l’insonorisation est faite à son maximum mais cela n’empêche pas d’entendre l’autoroute si votre chambre est située en face d’ elle.

Un des meilleurs hôtels que j’ai faits.
Pros:

Une chambre cosy, moderne, spacieuse et très propre. Une grande douche : parfaite avec un seul robinet, une pression idéale, 2 portes coulissantes très pratiques. Un personnel de ménage au top. Un petit déjeuner varié au restaurant du 2e étage. Et surtout le sourire et l’amabilité du personnel de tout l’hôtel : Un grand merci en particulier à Mary-Ann et Joy à la réception !

Walkable to lots of sights!
Pros:

Super fun location and we were able to get our steps in and walk everywhere. Staff was nice, room was clean and comfortable, view from rooftop was fun!

Cons:

We were on a whirlwind trip and stayed in 5 hotels over an 8 day period - this one was the most expensive, no breakfast included. Parking was SO expensive
