The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The king size bed was comfortable but did suffer a little with 'bounce' in that one person moving was felt by the other person.

Air conditioning was broken was advised to “open my window” Gym closed, no mention at check in. Overnight staff was unfriendly and more interested in arguing with me than hearing or addressing my concerns.

We did not even stay and had to book at another hotel. All of the pictures are AI generated and the hotel was nothing like what the pictures told. Very disappointed and will be looking for a refund.

The location is great for restaurants and pubs. We attended a concert at Jubilee Auditorium, which was convenient. The only downside was that the rooms were too warm for sleeping. The AC had been turned off for fall but it was warmer weather than they anticipated.

Rooms had no A/C and were extremely hot. Had to leave room door open as no air flow. All they offered was a free 17$ breakfast and wouldnt fix it. Gave a fan. Once i spoke with expedia, hotel staff published a letter stating to not turn heat on and out in our room. We obviously didnt have the heat on. The room was abiut 30 degrees in october and could bit be adjusted. Do not recommend at all this hotel To top it off i was trapped in elevator 2 times!!! And they said nothing about it said it happens sometimes. Not ok at all, scary and unsafe! I was told they would give a discount but they didnt send one.

For paying a premium you don’t get premium amenities. Pay extra for parking in a public parking lot, then get parking tickets on top of it. Pay $17 for breakfast buffet that isn’t any better than motel 6. Sink was broken and hot water that you need to wait 10 minutes for…

Was only there for a night. Check in reception were very nice and helpful in getting our room early, even with the busy weekend due to a concert. It is in a very nice area with food and bars. quick uber ride to downtown. Parking available with the hotel and even on the streets.
