Really enjoyed the location for its walkability to all of our activities downtown. Self parking is $25/day (there is also valet for $30) and was easily accessible. The beds were comfortable, however all the pillows provided became very flat during the night, resulting in poor sleep for us. While the restaurant’s breakfast buffet looked lovely, it would be great if an a la carte option could be provided for those who want a simple, grab and go item in the morning.

Everything was great except the temperature in the room. It was overly hot and the thermostat didn’t seem to work. And this is when it was about 35 degrees outside at night. Location was fantastic.

Overall good stay. But please look into changing the horrible sliding bathroom door. It's very noisy, difficult to slide and it doesn't close flush! There's a big gap, which is not good at all. Also your breakfast. Why a one time charge? All I wanted was a small breakfast, perhaps a banana, oatmeal and coffee, but was told I needed to pay $19 for a full breakfast. Haha. Really? I think your hotel would get a lot more breakfast business if you just sold items individually.
