I LOVED the breakfast. There was a HUGE variety of options, including fresh fruit and pastries. The staff were attentive, quick to clear tables, and always available. The room was clean. It had ample space. The bed was very comfortable. Parking was EASY, right in the basement of the hotel.

The hallways felt slightly long. It was a minor inconvenience to reach my room, located at the end of the corridor.
