The hotel has a fabulous coffee shop in it. I had one of the best cups of cappuccino that i've ever had. I liked the moody vibe to the hotel rooms. And was able to get a good night's sleep. Everyone I spoke to at the front desk went out of their way to be helpful.

Frist night we we given room 104 (I think). It was not very clean and people were walking around at our level directly outside our window, smoking and talking and listening to music. Noisy trash barrel pick up at 5am. Then the worst... about 1am fish frying smell filled the room. Almost unbearable. We got another room on the 4th floor next day which was fine. BUT...YOU GAVE US NO DAILY CLEANING, TRASH CAN EMPTYING, BED MAKING...NOTHING....ABSOLUTELY NO HOUSEKEEPING FOR 5 DAYS! WE HAD TO GO GET COFFEE, CLEAN GLASSES, TP, TISSUES. VERY POOR HOUSEKEEPING ...ACTUALLY NONE!

Great place for us to stay for one night. Room is small and basic, reminded me of a dorm room. I did find the entrance hard to find, might have been a me problem. Street parking is hard to navigate near the hotel with all the one way streets. Bagel shop in lobby was amazing!

Excellent modern hotel that was very clean. I had a 5th floor room which was very quiet. Staff was very friendly and helped me book bus transport to the airport. The restaurant and bakery were very good. It was very convenient....just a 5-10 minute walk to the main shopping district, and it was right across the street from Bus Stop 4, a pick up spot for the airport and tour buses. I would definitely stay here again.

I can't say enough good things about this hotel! My partner and I arrived really early after our flight, fully prepared to just drop our bags and head out. To our surprise, the staff went above and beyond and found a room for us right away so we could check in early. ​We also loved the cool bakery and burger restaurant inside the building. We highly recommend this hotel!
