Stayed 1 night with my husband for an event we had to attend. I thought the pricing was fair & nice and clean but the reservation person failed to warn us of restaurant closure (inconvenient and not much choice nearby) & remodel noise. We had to change our room 3 times. First time the room did not have requested bathtub, 2nd time the room was very noisy cause of repairs and street noise. 3rd time was great but we were exhausted from the moving around. Free parking was a plus and got 20% off happily for the issues. Shelia was particularly great & Anna was helpful. Good staff generally.

On arrival the staff were wonderful, warm and welcoming. The room was basic, but the breakfast? If it hadn’t been included and I’d paid extra I would have demanded a refund. The “breakfast room” was obviously previously used as a meeting room, the “kitchen area” is set up in the corridor, with plastic bags full of breads. The bagels were stale, the yogurt I was two weeks out of date and the coffee was just coloured water. Thank goodness they had bananas. Finally the chap who was running the breakfast room watched you like a hawk but never spoke a word. Really? What would people take? A plastic fork and plate or a stale bagel?
