Disappointed

The room was very small. Did not clean our room or give us clean towels after the first day of our two night stay. Told us we had to put a door hanger to have that service. Hardly had any room for our luggage in room

Great property and friendly staff! The only thing I would have changed was if they would have given us a heads up about construction to get to the parking garage. Other than that would highly recommend and will be back!

Great location. However, during our stay, the bathroom sink drained very slowly. So I asked them to fix it, but there wasn't much improvement afterward. I heard that the same issue happened in the next room where my other family members were staying. It seems to be a drainage problem throughout the hotel. Other than that, everything was excellent. However, if this issue isn't resolved, I don't think I would return to this hotel.

Great location, but the parking situation was a major letdown. At check-in, staff didn’t mention anything about vehicle height limits or off-site parking. We only found out when we tried to park underground and discovered our vehicle was too tall. I had to go all the way back to reception to ask where to park, and only then was given a pass for the off-site lot. That lot requires a 5-minute walk across a busy street—not ideal with small kids and lots of luggage. The 15-minute guest registration zone was also misused: a truck with a towed wagon was allowed to stay overnight as an exception. Felt unfair. Overall, not family-friendly and poorly communicated.

We came over to see a show at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, which conveniently is located directly across the street from the hotel. Also, the restaurant Moxie’s is located upstairs which was a bonus as well.
