The suite is spotless. Checking in is swift and seamless. But the place is not friendly to the physically challenge, no elevator. But is you’re able to make it to a couple of flight of stairs, it’s perfect. Affordable and spic and span

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
There's no kitchen on site. Parking was very convenient and safe. Staff were receptive to my needs. Only slight downside is there was no working heating system in my room. There were 3 portable space heaters in my room. Only 2 worked. It didn't really bother me, but a couple or family might find themselves tripping over heaters. And it's not as effective as baseboards or forced air. No heat was on when I arrived. It took a long time to heat the room up, and then I ended up waking up in a pool of sweat. Room was super clean and a great value for Victoria.
