Great location nice room ,loves the bed linens smelled so fresh. Only downside was like any big intercity hotel parking was expensive it was 33 precent of the total room cost, that seems excessive.

Such a cute hotel! A little challenging getting ready in the morning as the vanity is just a sink without much space. Had a great breakfast there at the restaurant. Beds were comfortable and pretty quiet. Very charming!

The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was very nice. Carpets are quite dirty in the hallways. Reception wasn’t rude but also wasn’t super welcoming either.

Room and staff were good. Parking was efficient but too expensive and separate billing meant more paperwork. Hotel was helpful when needed.

The room was adequate, good size. There was no view other than the parking area for the apartments behind the hotel. Not a lot of good restaurants within a 10 minute walk. No close by shopping to speak of. Overall, our stay was fine, but a bit over priced.
