Liked: Convenient, quiet location, yet close to restaurants, shops, cinema, etc. The hotel is located on a quiet business street with a nice sidewalk where you can walk your dog(s). Be sure to bring your doggie bags and courteously pick up after your fur baby. I wasn't able to try out the breakfast because I had to leave so early both mornings I was there, but I was happy to find coffee available 24/7. I was absolutely delighted to find a pot of soup available for the guests in the lobby. After traveling in the snow, I didn't want to venture back out for dinner, so I was grateful for the delicious hot meal.
Disliked: There was no mud mat in the room. I tried to get as much snow off my boots as I could but still ended up with a fair amount of water on the floor from the snow trapped in the treads. I appreciate the hardwood floors, but I'd hate to see them get warped.
