A éviter absolument !
Cons:

Parking payant, 25 dollars, on l apprend après avoir réservé.
Par ailleurs, au tarif initial pour une nuit, s ajoutent tout un tas de taxes incompréhensibles d un montant de 50 €! Le petit déjeuner est plus que sommaire ! Seul le personnel sauve un peu le lieu. Bref, une honte !!

Pros:

The atmosphere was great. Room was nice and comfortable. Great location to downtown.

Cons:

The sink did not drain properly as well as the toilet did not flush correctly. Requested 2 towels per person which was not given when I received a message stating they would be in my room. No hand towels or wash cloths were in the room either. The complimentary soap, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were empty.

Pros:

The theme of ‘vintage’ is nice, the lounge is amazing, offering free drinks and donuts and popcorn, the staff was nice, the room is very spacious. The location is amazing if the weather isn’t awful.

Cons:

The floor in the room wasn’t very clean, the soap dispensers in the shower either didn’t work (didn’t dispense) or were empty, and the water pressure was pretty abysmal. The WiFi never really worked. And to pay that much money for this is preposterous.

Great stay needs some basic updates.
Pros:

The staff were excellent! The bed was very comfortable. The outdoor area for my dog was good. The morning coffee and donuts were great!

Cons:

I had some trouble with my keycard to get into my room. Maybe a little more sound proofing between the rooms, the second night I was there the room next door someone kept slamming doors at least once an hour, I didn’t sleep well that night. The seal around the door needed to be replaced and blackout curtains would be nice. The dog bowl in the pet area needs to be cleaned it had mold growing in it.
