A classy place to stay with the family

Very friendly front desk staff, exceptional housekeeping, and a great location, right in the downtown. Nice large room, with great fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and tea kettle. Only drawbacks of the room were the less than ideal mattress and a shower head that tended to whistle. The location is only a block from the empress, and historic downtown shopping, or even 2-3 very short blocks to the mall or the waterfront. The only downside to its location may depend on your likes or dislikes to the nightlife scene as there is a bar, and nightclub next door and a lot of smoking outside that nightclub every evening. I cannot say enough about the friendly staff, or the historical nature of this hotel. The family and I had a great time, and plan to stay here again in the future.
