Solid Stay with Kitchen Perks

functional kitchenettewashing machineconvenient locationeasy access
I appreciated the room had a kitchenette. It allowed me to prepare meals after a long day. The room included a washing machine. It was very convenient for my travel needs. The location provided easy access to the city center (for exploration and dining).
I noticed the bathroom could have used a bit more attention to detail during cleaning.

While I did not dine at the hotel restaurant, the proximity to Queen Street offers many dining options. The fully equipped kitchen in the room allowed for easy meal preparation. It included a microwave, large fridge, and toaster.

The hotel provides laundry facilities inside the room, including a washing machine. This was useful for longer stays and helped in packing light. The front desk staff was helpful with inquiries and assistance.
