We splurged on our usual hotel budget and we're so glad we did. The hotel was lovely and the staff was wonderful...but most importantly, the ability to walk (quickly) to and from Union Station and to other points of interest (allowing us to have a car-free weekend) was our deciding factor. We weren't disappointed and would stay here again.

Overall a very nice hotel. The staff are nice and professional. The property is maintained. My room was was clean enough, but the area behind the toilet lid had some brown grout and the shower had a few slightly brown stains. It can be a tad noisy from the guests.

This hotel was so lovely! Loved the 24/7 snack area, room service food was very tasty. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was quite cozy, pillows were the best hotel pillows and the fact they provided slippers in the room (rooms have hardwood floors) was a cherry on top. This will be my top pic when I come into the city.
