We enjoyed our 5 day stay at the Provincial. Initially we were given a room with no natural light. This was unsatisfactory and I asked for a room change which incurred an additional charge of $30 per night for an upgrade which grated a bit. However the rest of the stay was fine and the hotel is in a great position

We had suite 102 - which despite fronting the street was no issue with noise. Great room, friendly staff, fantastic location. Parking just 1 block up the street ($24 for 24 hours) and although pool is small it's great to cool off in and unlike the holiday inn best door - not full of screaming kids! Great!

Breakfast buffet was a bonus. Having a building with some character rather than a concrete tower is nice. You will notice the trains passing through nearby but they're infrequent.

A great hotel about 10/15 mins walk from the main streets. We felt it was a really safe area with good transport links. Bus stop to airport was 5 min walk away. You enter at street level and use an elevator to go to 11th floor where reception is. Great breakfast each morning, did get a little busy at weekend. Room was large, clean and provided everything we needed.
