"This hotel is in a great location. Easy walking distance from Powell station. Tons of shopping and restaurants nearby. Staff was very friendly! There was an elevator out of service all weekend- which was a bit of a pain because there was TON of events going on in the city so the hotel was packed. My room was small but it was fine for what I needed it for. It’s a bit old, overall clean enough. My housekeeper was great and very attentive. The pool is not THAT heated, especially since the courtyard is mostly in the shade it was too chilly to take a dip- wish there was a hot tub! I do wish the coffee service went longer it seemed to run out each day"
