9.8/10 Exceptional! (1,012 reviews)

Great location with easy walking distance to downtown. Breakfast was great too. We only spent 1 night in the family room which isn’t big but has outdoor deck access as well which we would have used if we’d stayed there longer. We even walked to the Aurora museum on the waterfront which is doable if you can walk a couple of miles round trip.

Great location. Walkable. Close to shopping, dinning and sites. The room was spacious-especially the bathroom. I contacted the property managers and received a response within 2 hours. The bakery on the first floor, Brikk was lovely. We had a room on the 3rd floor with a sloped ceiling-I'm tall and hit my head a few times-lol.
