At the time of our stay (Oct 2026) this was a brand new property. Everything was new and clean. The staff were great and very friendly, made us feel very welcomed. Highlights are: 1. Great location within 5 minutes walk to multiple transit options, large department stores, and food places. 2. Waking machine and dryer in the room so you can pack light. 3. Spacious rooms with options for family. On the less positive side there's not much amenities to speak of.
