Categories

Cleanliness
8.5
Multiple reviews specifically praise cleanliness (rooms described as clean, linens changed, no smoke smell); a few notes about partial room service on one day lowered perfection slightly.
Service
8.2
Staff and front desk repeatedly called out as very helpful and friendly (Charles and Raj named), though one severe management failure around a noise/dog complaint reduced the score somewhat.
Location
8.7
Many reviewers praised the convenient location (close to Eagle, Fairfax Arena, eateries); location was repeatedly described as ideal for guests' needs.
Room Quality
6.9
Rooms are generally comfortable with good beds and updated decor, but complaints about AC odor, small shower, limited hot water and occasional housekeeping lapses lower this category.
Amenities
7.5
Breakfast and free parking noted positively; however, issues include a weak/absent weight room and occasional incomplete room servicing, giving mixed amenity impressions.
Value for Money
8
Several guests explicitly called out good value and recommended the hotel as a solid value; this is reflected while accounting for occasional service lapses.
Food and Beverage
8.3
Hot breakfast repeatedly described as plentiful with good variety (bagels, eggs, bacon, fruit, etc.); minor criticisms include overcooked eggs and some burnt sauces on one report.
Overall Experience
7.1
Overall stays skew positive (clean rooms, helpful staff, good breakfast, convenient location) but isolated but impactful negatives (noise/dogs and poor handling, service lapses, AC/hot water issues) bring the overall experience down.

Good except for the AC.
Pros:

Breakfast was good. Bread, bagels, butter, cream cheese, pastry, oatmeal, cereal, milk, scrambled eggs, bacon, yogurt, bananas, oranges. Eggs were heavily overdone. Room was nice. Sink outside the bathroom is always great for families (although I was alone).

Cons:

The AC had some smell whenever it kicked in. This was the only actual negative in my stay.
