The best, most accommodating hotel I’ve ever stayed at! From the most friendly staff to the clean room. Not to mention the 24 hour art room with installations and projections that was such a comfortable and amazing vibe. Thank you so so much! Highly recommended.

Room was very clean, staff were all very pleasant. Free street parking was easy to find most nights right out front of the hotel. I'd stay here over a big chain hotel every chance I get!

The check-in process was smooth. The front desk staff, Sofia was extremely nice. I stayed in a Studio Queen and I have to say it was one of the cleanest rooms I have stayed in, in years. There wasn’t a spec of dirt and the room smelled so fresh. I’m a neat freak, I always check the sheets and pillows. It was spotless! This was a staycation for me so I could get some work done but I would definitely return.

Great location- close to public transportation and shop close by for necessities. Nice neighbourhood. Staff was super helpful and friendly. Nice view from our room. Only criticism was that the heating/cooling unit in our room was very loud. Other than that, great place to stay. Would definitely stay there again.
