Welcoming Front Desk staff, clean room with big towels. As a returning guest, I received a complimentary upgrade to a bigger room, with a sweet amenity, and access to the VIP lounge. Room rates are great, location is close to local train and about six minute walk to Grafton St. I’d rather gate keep this property but it’s too good not to share.

Amazing hotel. Lovely room, fresh and clean interior, mid century decor but cozy and warm not sterile. The room has amazing lighting, a very comfy bed, and was very clean. The shower wasn’t the best but still very nice. Excellent location and parking garage is close by.
