Not the greatest

Terrible location. Next door to a gas station and minimart. Neighborhood was very busy and noisy. Room was quiet and comfortable, but we had upgraded to a Junior Suite. The restaurant staff were very friendly and patient. We would not stay here again.

This primarily business hotel is a pretty solid offering. Underground parking, good security between this and the rooms, and a spacious restaurant for breakfast. Breakfast itself was again solid. Good quality food, competantly cooked and displayed. All staff were efficient and reasonably pleasant.
