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

We will stay here again - very nice hotel, great staff, amazing location. The only "downside" is it's street parking or valet for $35 - we opted for valet, which worked out great and given other hotels I've stayed at in big cities are charging $40-60 a night for parking, not bad. Ruby restaurant in the hotel was great and convenient for breakfast. The Thai Massage place was excellent as well. Front desk staff and house keeping were all really nice.

Great location, good value- the heat/AC units blocking the view out the windows are a disaster;). Good staff, quick check in, little bit of a “quality inn” type finish to the room- I expect a little better from a BW plus.. All in all worked well, though I will try the BW plus by the harbor next time:)

Why that day

Back in the day you used to be able to check in at 3 PM now it’s 4 PM. You expect to get to your room asap when you get there at 4:30m but my room wasn’t ready. I had to wait another half an hour before it was! When I got to my room everything was fine except for the fact that none of the soap dispensers had soap in them. These are small things, but when you’re super tired after a day at work, you just want to crash and these little things just felt BIG.
