totally awesome stay!
shopping centers warm welcome
i found so many shopping centers and restaurants just steps away, i was so excited. the hotel restaurant looked amazing! everything sparkled. the staff gave such a warm welcome. i appreciated the convenience of nearby dining options and the super clean environment, it was an amazing experience.
i found the room to be on the smaller side, this made moving around with luggage a bit tricky. i think some extra space could improve the overall experience.

the hotel has a pretty restaurant with outdoor seating, i loved that, even though it was closed for a holiday. i also noticed a café across from the mall, it seemed like the perfect place for a quick breakfast before exploring.
Rooms

cramped quarters and minor issues
small room leaking shower door
The room was smaller than i anticipated. it was hard to move around comfortably (i even bumped into the wall a couple of times). also, the shower door leaked. water spilled onto the bathroom floor after each shower. I found that quite annoying.

Convenient Stay Near the T Stop
valet parking water station
I found valet parking offered very easy access, I left my car. The filtered water station was a nice perk . I enjoyed modern interior design throughout the hotel. There was a functional computer in the basement I was able to use.
The room lacked a fridge. This was a major inconvenience when needing to store travel snacks.
