The location is great, right downtown, but the hotel room is simply inadequate. There was no hot water 2-3 times. I was all ready for a nice bath after a long day of travelling, and there was no hot water! But other times, there was. Plus, the TV is an absolute fail. You have to aim the remote right at the bottom-right of the screen, or it won't work. It got annoying trying to aim the remote all the time! Then, the tv would lose its signal. Geese. It's hard to believe they do business like this. But the location is right downtown, which is why I chose it, so I guess that's why.

The tv didn't work the entire stay even though I let the front desk know and when I checked in I told the woman at the desk I literally almost got into a car accident 30 seconds before coming into the hotel and the woman wasn't even listening and said "that's nice!"

We stayed in a family room for 2 nights (2 adults, 2 children). Pros: - Reasonable price - Clean room Cons: - Very small room, highly uncomfortable for a family of 4 - Lighting is unpleasant and too bright, feels like fluorencent lights - Hot water takes 5-7 minutes to flow in the shower - No crib provided despite requesting it at online check-in - No ramp or automatic door, we needed to pick up the stroller to go up the stairs. - No family-friendly amenities such as a microwave oven in the room - Bathroom door badly adjusted and making noise upon opening and closing (waking up baby) Overall a pretty poor experience, we do not recommend for traveling with kids
