The breakfast was excellent. The price was reasonable. We got upgraded to a jacuzzi room. The room was quite spacious and comfortable. Staff were all pleasant and helpful.
The parking was a bit small and the ramp very steep. However, it was well plowed so it wasn't icy.

Great downtown location, covered parking and decent breakfast
At 9 am some one started doing floor work and banging on the top floor making the last hour not comfortable and made us leave early to get away from the noise

Very Good
The free parking was very useful. I didn't have a car myself, but was visited by friends who did - one on each day of my stay. The helpful reception staff gave me a pass to put in my friends' cars. Much appreciated in this busy downtown location.
The complimentary breakfast wasn't very appetizing.

On multiple occasions our room door broke not allowing us to open the door but rather wait for staff to let us in. I asked to be moved rooms multiple times to no avail.

Great location and very few hotels that have free breakfast, no key required elevators, awesome room amenities and great value parking
The check in and check out process was painful. I’ll probably return but they charged me $95 for a Doucet cover that had a stain that was hardly visible and unclear whether it existed at check in cause like who analyzes their sheets with a magnifying glass before anything
