I appreciate that they offer a complimentary full hot buffet breakfast and extras like the lobby's 24/7 espresso machine. For a convenient and well-located stay, it seems like a solid option.”

Excellent Location and Breakfast
perfect locationhot optionclean roominaccurate size
I found the location to be PERFECT. The breakfast included many options that were hot and refilled often. Staff were helpful. I appreciate that. The room was CLEAN and a good size.
The room size advertised with two queen beds was inaccurate, and much smaller than expected. It felt really cramped with two adults.

The hotel's location allowed easy access to the inner harbour and waterfront buildings. The parliament building was right next door. Fisherman's Wharf was also within walking distance. Everything was SO convenient!!!

The hotel provides coin laundry facilities. Both the old washing machine and dryer worked very well. The front desk exchanged bills for coins. They even sold detergent. I felt very grateful for that.
