"We had a room on the 6th floor with a balcony. Great view although not much sun in October. Very nice fresh breakfast with fresh juices and drip coffee (I was surprised no latte machine). My spouse is a vegetarian so we always appreciate when vegetarian diets are considered. Hotel is quite clean and spacious. We travelled with our dog and we had a small dog bed with 2x drinking bowls in the room on arrival. There is a very nice looking restaurant and a rooftop bar that is also dog friendly. Great location next to a transit hub, fortunately not noisy. Would gladly stay again in the future. Not the best mattress for a long visit but ok for a few nights. Great staff."
