The Bad
There were some weak points mentioned online.

Guests liked the underground parking, but some mentioned that it was limited and tight. The hotel offered overflow parking on an outside lot.

Noise was a disturbance on occasion from: other guests, AC units, street traffic, sirens and motorcyclists on the parking lot of a nearby Tim Hortons.

Other recent complaints were: no channel guide and many channels not available and some rooms lacked a window in the living area and felt a little gloomy due to dark wallpaper.
