    The staff was efficient and helpful all the time. The location was exceptionally nice and perfect, really close to restaurants downtown or on Ingersoll and a good area close to the event and close to a college and a university campus. Our room had a bath, which was great.

    The bed was comfortable and room was overall clean.

    There was a few broken items in toilet seat, water in tub and sink wouldn't drain. When asked to switch rooms because of problems they did switch us to a different room.
