The room and bathroom seemed very new. Had a nice sofa and was very clean. The TV had all the apps you need There was also a fridge and microwave. Good price but the ‘city view’ was a Holiday Inn. There is a cute park next door with nice benches overlooking the river. Would definitely stay here again!

We didn't need a wheelchair accessible room, yet we were put in one, right at the front on the building. All night you heard loud talking, doors shutting etc. The temperature control was janky...either too hot or cold. At one point the room filled with the smell (& smoke) of someone smoking weed outside. The bed was hard as a rock. Neither of us got much sleep before our flight out the next day.
