"My room was on the second floor and it had a double bed that was comfortable enough, conducive to a good sleep."
"The actual room was very nice in my opinion..It was really a hotel room though with how spacious and clean the room was."
"Only 1.5km from Union Station and a very affordable bus trip to/from the airport in a fantastic area of the arts district."
