"Bathroom was so small. Shower tub also tight. Walls were paper thin on the second floor where we had our room. Could hear everything. Breakfast was strong for buffet options. No restaurant for lunch/supper, although there was a shop n go mini store. Overall, not my cup of tea, would not return."

"We got a room on a lower floor overlooking rooftops. It was not great or worth the money we paid. I think the hotel is outdated. The air wasn’t working. The sheets were very scratchy. There are better properties in the City at a better value."
