Pros:

Great location convenient for all the shopping and restaurants. Quick walk to the mall or a uber ride.

Some restaurants don’t allow kids after 9pm.

Cons:

The properly has tv but it’s all pre recorded so you can’t watch live tv. We were watching sports from 2018/2019 which was really annoying especially during the World Cup.

Will stay again.
Pros:

Love the location, easy check in process (plus friendly) and the gym was adequate.

Cons:

I wish hotels that are not in a city core would just include parking in the room rate. Always feels like a bituva gouge to me. Hide it into the room rate, I likely won't care.

Pros:

The staff went above and beyond, providing a kettle, a microwave, and an extra set of bedding when we requested them. The room was clean and comfortable, and the location was excellent, a great neighbourhood with a grocery store right across the street, plus plenty of coffee shops and restaurants within walking distance.
