Pros:

The hotel its self was great.

Cons:

We had 4 rooms. My friends had great rooms. We had a tiny room with a double bed against a wall. The bedside table was half way in front of the bathroom door. My friends room was so big. We all paid the same amount of money.

Not recommended for self-driving guests or short people
Pros:

Quite a comfortable room and very nicely decorated. The hallways and communal areas are also aesthetically pleasing, nicely carpeted, well lit and generally pleasant.

Cons:

The area is a parking nightmare! NOTE you must reserve and pay for onsite parking, which is in INCREDIBLY short supply. We were unable to access the paid parking we purchased on night 1 because of neighbours double-parked over the entrance, then we had to park blocks away in a parking building when onsite parking was unobtainable. The room itself is also unusually awkward for short people, with a very high wardrobe rail, window catches, etc.
