The hotel offers large and comfortable rooms, with excellent hot water and wifi performance, but they appear a bit dated. The service was top-notch, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. The location is ideal for exploring nearby attractions, although a bit of a walk to the metro station. Dining options were limited but having a nearby IGA was convenient. Overall, a good value for the price paid.

When I checked into the hotel, a lady named Jamie told me I can use my deposit. The rooms appeared clean, had a refrigerator which was a help for children, and the beds were very clean. It's a brilliant location for the Olympic park, close to the metro for travel to the city, but unfortunately, we were locked out at one point.
