Need renovation on this hotel
The room that I stayed was so small you can barely walk around and you can’t even put a lot of your belongings anywhere. I was also expecting a hot breakfast but instead just some pastries with coffee, tea, and juices. Not least but lastly, I had to go to front desk to reactive card keys several times during my 4 nights stay, which was ridiculous.

Was impressed with the cleanliness and friendliness of staff. It felt severely understaffed at some moments and this is the first hotel I experienced having to request cleaning service. We enjoyed the proximity to restaurants and coffee shops. Secondary parking wasn't far but I can see how people find it inconvenient. The gym facility was very limited. The room felt modern and upkeep was evident.

The room, although very small, was clean and quiet. We had to take a set of stairs down and up to get your room. We both have accessibility needs and this was a huge disappointment. The breakfast was terrible. More selection would be great and more fresh fruit.

The hotel is very cute and charming. Bring an older building, the rooms are on the smaller side, but very clean and comfortable. The lack of available parking was a tad annoying when we had to walk in the rain from two blocks away. Other than that, it was lovely.
