Adequate stay downtown

central locationhelpful staffgood choicesmall roomtiny bathroomhigh price
The location was really good, I accessed many central spots with ease. The staff were helpful. The complimentary breakfast offered a really good array of choices.
The room felt a little small. The bathroom was far too tiny, so it was a bit challenging to move around. The price I paid felt high relative to the room size and amenities.

The room offered plenty of space to move around. The bar downstairs created a cozy atmosphere. The breakfast options were plentiful. The front desk staff fulfilled my special request promptly. The downstairs bar provided great pub food to enjoy a hockey game.
