NOT SOUNDPROOF. THE CLEANERS WERE ALWAYS LOUD, banging on their equipment doors that affect their guests early in the morning. The street noise wasn'tthat bad but because if the. At nightI was there waiting for my passport to fly out. I could have rebooked while waiting, but I had to check out for my sanity.

The hotel staff was extremely friendly and very helpful, thank you Jonathan. Check-in was smooth and quick. Our room was comfortable. We only stayed one night. But the hotel was the perfect location for what we needed. We got there too late for the vallet parking, but there was a parking garage that was secure around the corner, which worked out perfect.

A couple of things to note: The lobby area is very sparsely decorated and over lit with bright white LEDs. There's little to no seating that's inviting or attractive; you want to spend as littler amount of time there as possible. The morning coffee "service" is a "push to select" machine; something you'd find at a truck stop or gas station. When checking in, make sure you do not get a room next to or near the elevators - we had room 600, next to the elevators and we could hear the cables "moaning" every time the lift was used. Kudos to the staff, they were very helpful and always welcoming with a smile and kind words..

Hotel is basic, but everything you need. Clean, modern, and tidy. I really appreciated being the guest of the day, it allowed me to check in early. No breakfast or pool, but there is a gym and a first floor sitting area. Area around has some spots to eat for breakfast as well as a nearby MTS station which was very convenient, but a lot of homeless and can get sketchy at night. For the price, this hotel is worth staying at for a few days.

The room was fine just showing some signs of wear. Paint repair needed inside bathroom door, curtains had holes. Not enough to complain to management or ruin the stay but shows very little attention to details. The person who checked us in stated they ran out of wine for our “VIP perk” so she “upgraded” our room which was just changing us to a room that included a sleeper sofa. There were only the two of us so it really wasn’t a perk for us compared to a free bottle of wine. I asked the later shift desk clerk about the wine again and he was able to produce a bottle for us so I don’t know why the first employee didn’t want to give us one. Very poor customer service in my opinion but the next employee made up for it. Overall for the price, I am fine and would stay again in a pinch. I don’t think I would purposely choose it but it wasn’t enough to make me say “under no circumstances…..”. The property was clean and in a good spot geographically.
