The hotel was amazing quick check in. The room was very clean the atheistic of the hotel is amazing. It was very loud at night made it a little difficult to fall asleep. The area is not the best when you travel with kids. They have no self parking within the premises Valet is expensive. Had to park a few blocks down. Be ready to walk if you don’t want to pay $60 for valet. Didn’t dine at the property but the restaurant area looked inviting. The area is not the best but it’s downtown so you’ll see and hear all kinds of things.

Was not bad but been to hostels that were much better. Mattress not that comfy, pillow flat, no top sheet. Stayed there because was taking a train in Union Station which is close. So location is great with many food choices to be had along with supermarket, pharmacies and shops. However would not stay there again.
