Great hotel, excellent location

Trendy & pretty hotel. Great location for restaurants & bars. Loved the bar in the lobby. Craft cocktails & a super nice bartender. We paid for breakfast. (Breakfast sandwiches, yogurt, oatmeal, & bagels.) The beds were very comfortable! Our a/c was a little loud but not a sleep ruiner. Room was quite large too!

Not terrible

My room was right above the restaurant attached to the hotel. During restaurant hours, I could hear voices all night until closing. I could also hear everything in the halls and the rooms weren't sound proof and I didn't realize there was no pool. I enjoyed my overall stay the room was small, but comfortable and clean.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
One of the worst experiences and definitely worst in Marotte network. Staff was kind of neutral and some people were not trained. No instructions or welcoming in the room. Almost no information on a frint desk. Bathroom and toilet are in the same space as kitchen area in the room. Tables at the lounge area are greasy. Breakfast is poor and there was almost no options for the kids.

I was not a fan of the design, it felt like a dorm room by IKEA, small tight quarters, although the bathroom was spacious. Beds were comfy, but noise in the are due to college students was a bit too much.
