Staff was accommodating to a room change for a larger room and also helped me to store food left over from a wedding in their fridge. Great location and generally safe. Lots of good restaurants around. Only missing a spa and a pool.

Only issues we had didn’t have anything to do with the facility itself. Most of the hotel was there together and unfortunately for us they decided to party in the room right next to us, thankfully they shut it down by 12:30 am, so not the end of the world, but the street was extremely busy and noisy all night.

Overall this was a lovely hotel with plenty of amenities for entertainment. Within minutes of theatres and other venues. We were quite disappointed with the room quality. At first sight it seemed pleasantly appealing and well appointed. However it did not take us long to realize the room was very tiny with very little extra space to spread out. (King room). Especially the bathroom. Do not take any sort of vanity bag, there is no room. To top It off the heat was stuck at 27-29 Celsius all night long and would not go down despite having a repair man come as well. Secondly , which was a bit comical, the TV was stuck on auto descriptive and we could not figure that out(even the same repair guy could not). Overall it was a mediocre stay at a very lovely hotel. The on-site restaurant was lovely!

We stayed here because it was well rated and close to the theater where we purchased tickets to see a show (the reason we were in town). It is a lovely modern renovated space. Close to busy shopping and dining and walking distance to the Center in the Square Theater we attended. The on-site restaurant was really good which made the evening easy and very enjoyable

Room was dark, looked nothing like the pictures online and had a very foul smell throughout. Hotel reservations didn't have any other rooms available so I asked for a refund. We did not spend the night and still waiting for refund for the reservation I canceled. The property has no parking Around the property. Hotel only has 8 valet spots on the property but all taken . Be prepared to walk a fair distance and spend $30 / night
