Don’t book this hotel through a 3rd party provider as I booked 2 rooms and both are next to the elevator. Noisy as hell and as such we won’t be back. The Front desk staff were no help at all in trying to resolve our issue. I’m certain if we had booked direct with the hotel we would not have such a crappy room.

The location of this is very good. Close to multiple eating establishments and public transit (streetcars). The rooms are small but do provide everything you need for a multiple day stay. Only thing I did wish was that the pool was indoors.

Convinient for seeing the city. There is a cable car and tram station nearby. Can be abit crowded with tourists and airline crew . Otherwise nothing special apart from the warm and welcoming concierge greeting you everytime you leave and enter back .

I stayed here from March 28-April 1, 2024. This hotel exceeded my expectations. It was clean, well kept, friendly staff and was a perfect location for me. The room is small but plenty big for 1-2 people. The room was very well kept and very clean. Had a Keurig, coffee and a fridge. The hallways were very clean and brightly lit. Plenty of elevators… Read more
