Property is generally clean. Room is small and dark. It is on a traffic road. Noise from nearby construction, upstairs and downstairs. Parking cost $30. We have to go outside public parking and fed the meter in the morning. not worth the money. Should’ve spent a little bit more to stay closer to the harbour

Our stay was good. My kids like the room with the kitchen. My only concern is the Valet parking, it should be in the building for easy access to the car whenever we need to get some items inside the vehicle. Our vehicle's roof was covered with bird poop for our 2 nights of stay in the hotel. But everything was good , it's just the valet parking.

Beautifully renovated with little extras, like an espresso machine for guests open till late by the elevator that serves everything from espresso to French vanilla to mochachinos. There is also a laundry room for guests, which has vending machines, ice machines, an available bathroom, and a microwave for guest use, which came in handy. Everything about this day was fantastic, I wish I could’ve stayed longer.
