The location is great. Close to Kensington and many other amenities. It’s going through a renovation, but I had one of the renovated rooms which was really nice. I had a weird smell coming into the room through the heating unit. We let the front desk know and they were very eager to help. I don’t think it was anything to do with the service though. They offer a really nice breakfast. Great perk.
