I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and well thought out, offering a separate bedroom with a comfortable double bed, a living room, a spacious bathroom with all necessary amenities, and a well-appointed kitchen. While the room seemed to struggle between hot and cold temperatures at times, the view overlooking the roofs and backyards of several houses added a cozy touch. The hotel's breakfast was rich, diverse, and delicious, making our stay even more enjoyable.

The hotel is located in a great area with very short walking distance to 17th Ave and many trendy restaurants. While the neighborhood is residential and southwestern, it's a bit further from the downtown area, taking about half an hour on foot. Nevertheless, the eclectic vibe and amenities nearby make the location really good.
