This was in a great location as it was close to town but not in the middle of all of the hustle and bustle. Just about a 5-10 minute walk from everything. Plus they have super comfy beds which made for a great night sleep

Clean and modern, but the service level is low.
This is a very modern hotel in a modern section of town by the Uni. It’s surrounded by recently built condos, but not much else. It has an underground garage, tucked behind it, which was a bit difficult to sort out. Signage to say it’s hotel parking would be nice. The staff were nice, but mostly into talking to each other rather than guests. The property seemed empty. They seemed caught up in boredom. I wanted to ask for a food recommendation, but decided to look for my own for the above reason. Sadly, there isn’t much around. Most places close quite early… by 8-9pm.
