No blue bins - not eco friendly in the rooms. Staff wasn’t knowledgeable w/ the events of the hotel (ie was supposed to be a complimentary wine tasting, which was reiterated to us @ check-in but there was a wedding there & front staff apparently wasn’t aware. Room was not as expected & not worth what they charge. View was a concrete roof top. Found day front staff a bit abrupt/rude). Breakfast was not incl w/ our king suite(s) & was $14.95 ea for a mediocre breakfast w/ a few hot foods. Parking will cost you $20 +tax in the parkade. We came back from our night out to people making out on our vehicle before security showed up! Ended up w/ some ‘scuff’ marks on the car. The stairwell to the parkade stunk & was littered w/ ‘stuff’. Not very safe. First & last time staying @ the hotel.

This is an amazing location and really cute boutique hotel. Unfortunately it’s starting to show its age a d could use a Reno. I also think the front desk needs to be manned more and a watch needs to be happening to avoid people that shouldn’t be in there coming in. I felt a little unsafe going in late at night with people who obviously weren’t staying loitering in the lobby
