We have stayed at this hotel before and were delighted to see the renovations. The rooms are nicely decorated and we were happy with how things looked. The gal on the front desk is a gem. She’s so sweet. The rooftop bar is a must see. The view is incredible. The breakfast is one of the best we have ever encountered.

Hi, This hotel had a nice entrance and well located to train and bus stations . The room was small and clean but we had a terrible view. Well equipped with mini fridge, safe . The breakfast was excellent and was served on the top floor of hotel with a nice view of the marina. I would stay at this hotel again but would request the non construction side of hotel (Expedia Platinum) David from the Rock🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
