Adequate stay at a convenient location

central locationvintage vibehelpful staffmissing coffee makerdim lightingnoisy refrigerator
The location is central. It allowed easy access to key attractions. Rooms were clean. They also had a vintage vibe. Staff were friendly and helpful. The bar offered good drinks.
The room lacked a coffee maker. It also had no microwave. The atrium view was dim. This made the room lighting insufficient. I could hear plumbing noises from other rooms. The refrigerator made noise throughout the night.

An acceptable experience

helpful staffeasy parkinglimited channelinner courtyard
The staff was helpful. The hotel is near the subway station, it made getting around easy. Parking was also easy to find. It was affordable too.
My room faced an inner courtyard so there was no natural light. The tv had limited channels. The technological amenities were poor.

The location was quite convenient! It allowed very easy walks to various attractions. I found the metro ride to and from the airport super easy. The restaurant offered good drinks. I opted to explore local eateries.
During my two-day stay, I noted some issues. There were NO towels provided. the room lacked a coffee pot. I found the absence of complimentary coffee in the lobby surprising.

Fantastic location and friendly service

great locationfabulous receptionon-tap waterloud music
The location was great. I was only five minutes from the Aquarium and harborfront cruises. Major sites were also easily accessible. The hotel was easy to find and had a fabulous reception area with a bar and lounge. I especially appreciated the on-tap iced water.
I booked a cabin on the first floor. No one told me about a club next door. Loud dance music blasted until 2 a.m. on weekends. I complained a couple of times.
