They were spacious, clean, and had a luxurious feel. However, the price could have been a bit more budget-friendly. The service was top-notch, with a very friendly and accommodating staff available for any assistance we needed. The location was convenient, with easy access to buses and plenty of shops, restaurants, and cafes nearby. The dining experience was wonderful, offering a variety of fresh and healthy options, although a bit on the expensive side. Overall, a lovely stay with some minor drawbacks to consider.

The hotel had beautifully decorated rooms with exposed beams, lovely furniture, and an incredibly comfortable bed and pillows. Despite being very spacious, there was a slight musty smell. The service was friendly and helpful, although lacking some amenities for the price paid. The location, while trendy, faced early morning traffic noise. The dining, though good, was on the pricey side. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor inconveniences.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The room was tastefully decorated and well-equipped, but I struggled a bit with the air conditioning control. The service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff available for any needs. The location was perfect for exploring downtown Kitchener on foot, and the dining experience, though good, felt a bit overpriced. The facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.
The hotel has high ceilings in the rooms which are very clean and quite large. Despite the challenge of closed roads around the hotel for first-time visitors to Kitchener, the accommodations include a bed, hardwood floors, a TV, and a desk with an office chair underneath. There was a need for a bit of maintenance in the bathroom ceiling.
