Location is great for my...

Liked: The self-serve coffee machine in lobby is quite nice. I didn't know there was a breakfast/dining area until at the end of my 3rd stay....it's all in the timing I suppose.
Disliked: Scrub the tile corners and edges in the shower better please, there's not a lot of effort there.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Disappointing

Liked: Convenient location downtown.
Disliked: The total price of the stay changed about a month before my arrival due to added taxes, but I was not informed in advance — I only discovered this on the check-in day. Additionally, the hotel charged my credit card without even asking, and instead of using a pre-authorization or deposit method, the credit card details were simply stored on file. The room was a bit noisy due to street sounds and other guests shouting in the corridor at night.
