Loved the hotel staff, proximity to DPAC and the room was very nice. The 2 train horns during the night was the only issue. But would stay there again anyway.

The property was nice, nice bar, nice lobby and cafe. Gym looked very nice and the view, overall, is great. I paid for a city view, but living local to the area know that I instead had a direct view of the one office building facing the opposite direction of the city. Otherwise the room was great, very comfortable and clean. I tend not to take these things too seriously, but someone who does might have objected.

If you’re going to a show at the DPAC there is no better place for the money. Rooms were up to date with large windows and tall ceilings with a more modern design. Bathroom was upgraded and showers were nice. Easy onsite parking in downtown with an additional parking fee. But it’s good for 24 hours so you can stay parked after checkout to walk around or enjoy a show. Great experience overall.
