The hotel is in a very convenient location and the room is full of amenities including a pc in case you need. The room was clean and new, bed could have been a bit more comfortable. In any case I really recommend.

Fast and friendly check in. For those that drive there are indoor and outdoor parking spots at the same cost which is an added bonus. Breakfast was far more than I expected and they even have little take away baggies you can grab if you plan to be out and about all day. They had juice, cookies, and snacks for your travels. I was very happy with my stay.

Booked a signature suite for 3 adults and the room was perfect. It was huge and well-equipped. If you needed extra towels or amenities such as shower gel, you could get them from the corridor. There’s also a gym and a laundry room. Breakfast was included, which offered juice, fruits, cereal, and burgers.

Hotel location is great. Lots of restaurants nearby, it’s only 10mins to City Hall, 20 mins to Parliament Hill. Hotel staff is very professional and efficient in their response. I like the goodies bag, with bottled water, energy bar, biscuits, they prepared for their guests so we can take those with us for consumption as we explored the city.
