The stay was okay- bed was two singles to make king with noticeable dip in the middle. Breakfast was average with apple juice watered down significantly on day 2. Access was difficult with people staying much longer in 10 min bays

Wouldn't stay again

To start with a positive the staff were lovely. That is where the positives end. When it says parking available, unless you pre book, there is no parking. Street parking is very very limited, their is paid public parking, but that is only good if you don't want to come and go. One of our pillow cases had stains when we checked into the room and while I was showing part of the shower just fell off. The free breakfast leaves much to be desired. It appears the hotel was very busy. Breakfast started at 7am, and by 8am there was very little food left. They did refill the hot food but cold breakfast wasnt refilled. The curtains are not block out curtains, so don't expect a sleep on. For the price, I would stay somewhere else

Excellent facility but the parking is an issue. As a guest we shouldn’t have to pay. If we had to go out numerous times it would add up as well as the $12.50 per night. To enter the hotel was chaotic as Google maps directed us to another street due to construction. It wasn’t easy to find.

We stayed in a one bedroom which was beautifully clean. The bed was comfortable & it was very quiet & had blackout blinds which made the room wonderfully dark for sleeping. The only thing i did not like was that the bathroom was all printed glass which did not create a feeling of privacy. I would stay again.
