The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms but is affected by early morning noise from delivery trucks and limited electrical outlets near the bed. The service, however, improved after initial issues, with personal greetings and attention to detail. The central downtown location is convenient, albeit with some noise disruptions. The dining experience, though lacking in variety, had some highlights. Overall, a mix of positives and negatives.

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. The rooms were well-equipped with stoves for cooking, but unfortunately, noise from delivery trucks woke me up early both mornings. The location is convenient, with easy access to highways and downtown amenities, though laundry facilities were lacking. The dining experience was subpar, with hard butter that ruined my toast, but the service was excellent, with quick responses and even a complimentary bottle of wine. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was perfect, super close to Keyano College and some great restaurants. The rooms were spacious, clean, and had everything I needed like a separate seating area and multiple TVs. The service was top-notch, with staff who always greeted me by name and were incredibly helpful. However, the dining experience left something to be desired with limited breakfast options. Despite that, the overall value for money was excellent!
