We loved our stay! Great, walkable location but it's dead quiet and insulated from street noise/craziness. We had a super easy and quick check in, friendly service and easy access. The room was clean with great amenities for a long stay - nespresso, oven, fridge, dishwasher and washer/dryer combo with laundry detergent process -and a comfy room with a good bed/pillows, table and tv. Water pressure is great ad the hot water never ran out. Stay was great, especially for the price. Quest is reliable and consistent at a super affordable rate.

Friendly staff, nice room, good amenities. There was one area in the bedroom that was “sticky”, like gum had been on the carpet. We were too busy to worry about it and just covered the small area with a tissue. TV choices were limited and instructions on how to use your Netflix account was nothing like I’ve seen before. It would be nice to have explanation available in the room.

Had everything you need if you wanted to prepare a meal or do laundry. If you are parking there beware that it is quite tight to get into. We had an 8 seater Kia and it was difficult getting in and out of the car park.

This hotel is very convenient to the waterfront, cable car and shopping/restaurants. Everything is walkable. We had a studio room, and having the washer/dryer in the room was nice. With all that said, there is no lobby in this hotel, and “reception” is literally a desk on the 4th floor. You literally have to follow a two page set of instructions provided by the hotel in order to park and then find your way back to the hotel. It’s not easy. Lastly, by 3:30pm, our room still had not been made up. After calling the desk they did bring us fresh towels and emptied our garbage. The service could have been much better.
