The location was certainly convenient. I could walk to the downtown area easily. The Junior Suite provided ample space. I also found the staff very helpful.
I found the restaurant only open for dinner. The underground parking fills up quickly. Street parking requires extra payment.

the room was clean. this met my expectations.
The noise level was unacceptable. People were loud late at night near the entrance. additionally, the pillows provided offered little to no support. this made it difficult to sleep well. We were very frustrated.
