The check-in process was smooth. The front desk staff, Sofia was extremely nice. I stayed in a Studio Queen and I have to say it was one of the cleanest rooms I have stayed in, in years. There wasn’t a spec of dirt and the room smelled so fresh. I’m a neat freak, I always check the sheets and pillows. It was spotless! This was a staycation for me so I could get some work done but I would definitely return.

Great location- close to public transportation and shop close by for necessities. Nice neighbourhood. Staff was super helpful and friendly. Nice view from our room. Only criticism was that the heating/cooling unit in our room was very loud. Other than that, great place to stay. Would definitely stay there again.
