the staff was very cute. the rooms were clean and spacious. the hotel location is close to everything downtown. i liked that parking was connected to the park lane mall, opening to spring garden road with many boutiques and restaurants.
i was told they would help arrange transportation. i asked a couple times. i was told i had to take care of it myself. i felt they didn't want to be bothered.

i did find a couple of things needing attention. the soundproofing in the room was inadequate as i could clearly hear the television in the adjacent room. also, while i understood the parking fee was about $22, it turned out to be over $32 after tax, and it was not valet service..

the check-in and check-out processes worked very smoothly. i could check in early and leave my bags after checking out for a while.. the suite was nice and neat. the location is perfect, offering easy access to cafes and restaurants.
the hotel is a bit dated, it could use a refresh. softer pillows and updated device plug-ins would really improve the experience. i think this simple updates would have a great impact
