The staff were all amazing and kind. Super helpful. The hotel itself is beautiful and the bar at the top has amazing views and drinks. The only reason it’s not a 5 star is the room was pretty average for the price and the parking was $72/night with a surprise $10 tax.. so to park for one night was $82 which is just wild. There’s a strike nearby that you can hear but it wasn’t too bad in our room.

Car park is unavailable unless you ask valet parking which costs arounnd 80 dollars per day. If you drive then pls find a public parking nearby which costs 50 dollar per day. It should be considered as your hotel rate.

This is a very nice hotel that is an updated take on a historical building. All staff are friendly and helpful. Bed was comfortable and room was just the right size for two people. While the bathroom does not have a proper counter, it has everything you need. If you need more space, this might not be the right call. We also like the lounge upstairs open Thursday- Sunday. Beautiful views of the city and very lively. Starbucks is almost adjacent to the hotel for easy grab and go.
