It was the cleanest hotel I’ve ever stayed in! Housekeeping should be commended!!!! The hotel is very clean and updated. Very comfortable beds and calm relaxing decor. If noise bothers you, you may want to ask for a less populated floor. While you can hear people go in and out it was not a big deal for us. Additionally a train goes by… again… did not bother us at all but if you are a light sleeper pack earplugs. The lobby is gorgeous and gives you a nice space to relax out of your room if you want to. There’s a tv tables and comfy couches and space to work if you need to. We were bummed the restaurant wasn’t open but it was snowing and I’m sure not busy enough to stay open. We booked already for October when we will be in town again. I plan on calling because the price for October is nearly triple what we paid. I’m hoping it is a mistake.

The hotel was newly renovated, and they did a beautiful job. It is clean and very appealing- very zen. Nice, comfortable beds. And a bonus: they use Malin & Goetz brand toiletries! For those who don't know that brand, it's high end and their stuff is amazing. My only complaint, and it's a very small one, is that they have one of those modern design showers where there is a tub with a half glass wall, and then no door on the other half. So you only have protection from the water going all over the floor if you carefully stand in the half of the shower that is close to the shower head. This was a little more challenging when I was trying to not get my hair wet.

I recently stayed at The Watershed and was very impressed with the experience overall. The hotel is absolutely beautiful, clean, and has a very modern, updated design. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The only downside was the noise from the hallways. It was easy to hear people walking by, and the sound of doors slamming as guests entered and exited their rooms was quite loud. This was a bit disruptive, but it was the only issue I had during my stay. Aside from that, everything was wonderful, and I would recommend The Watershed to anyone looking for a clean, modern, and friendly place to stay.

Really hip remodel - love the interiors and the easy parking. Try to stay on the backside for more quiet which will not be facing the main road which is not terribly pretty and fairly strip mall-ish but some might find it convenient. The staff was exceptional - super nice and helpful! 5 stars for them most definitely.

The young staff needs better customer service training. For a seasoned traveler, the present informally and unwilling. I would add one more dustbin in the room, and more towel hooks/hanging areas in the bathroom.
