The hotel is located close to trendy Cabbagetown with good access to restaurants and venues, but the surroundings can look unsafe at times. The rooms are very spacious but lack fans or air conditioning, and the internet connection is inconsistent. The dining experience offers French toasts in a house-like atmosphere.

The hotel is in a good location with various dining options nearby and close to Downtown attractions. The rooms, while spacious for two people, could use a bit more decoration, but they are comfortable for a good night's sleep. The presence of a shower unit within view of the bed was a unique touch, although the room was advertised as having a terrace when it did not.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were decent, but noise could be an issue. The shower unit in the bedroom was a unique touch, but the lack of amenities like a kettle or wardrobe was a downside. On the bright side, the room was spacious with a private bath and kitchen. Price was okay, but could be better in terms of value for money.

The hotel is conveniently located just off Parliament St, near Downtown attractions and with plenty of dining options around. While the room setup was a bit unconventional, the cleanliness and private bathroom were appreciated. The value for the money is definitely there, especially if you plan your routes in advance to navigate the neighborhood.

The hotel has a convenient location with comfortable beds, but it was unkept and littered with garbage. The rooms, though spacious, were overpriced for not having an en suite bathroom. The dining experience with Thai dishes was notable, and the facilities provided were satisfactory.
