I only booked thru Expedia because the hotel didn’t answer their phone. So I booked a king room but upon check in I was told they overbooked and I would be given a “upgrade” to a double queen room, for the same price (somehow a double queen is more expensive?). Was slightly disappointed because I was looking forward to a king sized bed. Room was smaller than I expected and what was pictured. Everything was pretty decently clean tho. A full sized tub would have been nice. Overall, I don’t think it was worth the price paid tho. Can’t speak for the restaurant or any other amenities as I unfortunately didn’t have time for all that. Front desk staff was very friendly and nice.

So overall great experience but with a couple hiccups. Rooms are spacious and well maintained 1) room service just used the same sheets again 2) saw mice in the restaurant at night time. They said it was due to construction in the neighborhood

The view was nice of the harbor. It appears the algorithm of pricing for this property is overpriced. For $ 560 Canadian I expected the whole harbor ocean view. The room was a normal king with a side view but not at that price. Careful when booking.

I paid nearly $400 for the hotel but the hotel charged me $8.45 for parking?! With no parking spot reserved for the hotel? I spent nearly one hour waiting for a spot on the public parking. It is a shame. There was also nothing complimentary in the hotel like a pieceof fruit or a cookie. A "cheap" hotel with a luxury decor. Sorry.
