great locationeasy walkmany cabinetsloose tapshowerhead accidentpoor housekeeping

The location was great. Near the train and an easy walk to DDP! Uber pick-up and drop-off was very convenient. We stayed in the beautiful suite with 560 sq ft space. It included one bedroom and a living area. The room had many cabinets. These were great for storage.

The tap and the shower were loose. This was a pain to use. One time the showerhead dropped. It hit my daughter's back. She is still complaining of the pain. Housekeeping was not the best. Vanity kits and shower gel were not refilled daily.
