It was a nice hotel but i didn't know it was $100 per night for the security deposit, it ended up costing me $400 for the security deposit. That was the only negative thing about the hotel.

My first room was by the elevators and it meant the room was really noisy. The staff did a good job of moving me when they could, but it's not really something that one should have to look out for when checking in.

I didnh have car so can’t say about parking. Many walkable bus stops to enjoy local transport . We are premium members so got top floor and rooms have awesome downtown view. They provide daily housekeeping which many hotels do not offer anymore now so found it a plus point! Overall highly recommended! Thanks

Half satisfied

My stay could have been excellent if a couple of front desk clerks were more customer friendly. When we brought up a problem with our room, a female receptionist had an attitude and she needs to be retrained to be in that position. And another male receptionist also was not friendly either. We felt as if we were taking to a robot.
