We stayed at their sunlight room because we want a bigger and room with windows. Great value if you booked directly on their website, so many perks. Including breakfast, mini bar, snacks, tote bag, all day sweet bar, free alcoholic drink on social hours. Service was great, from check in to check out. Good location, parking is paid with multiple entry. Good gym. Good food at Monster Restaurant even though its a vegetarian restaurant. Paid parking ✔️ Gym ✔️ Swimming pool ✖️ Hair salon ✔️ Movie theatre ✔️

I stayed here for work and it is an excellent hotel. Very funky, unique and absolutely too notch. My room was very tidy and had everything I needed, free mini bar and a snack pack! The shower was amazing, best water pressure ever and the bed was very comfortable, I slept so well. Staff were lovely and it was very quiet. My room was on the ground floor next to the one ramp and I didn’t hear a thing. I also used the gym which was new, clean and very well equipped. Also the hotel is within walking distance to the city and many good restaurants. Also the candy station was a great perk. Monster Kitchen does room service and the food was excellent and quick. It’s a nice restaurant space to have a glass of wine a well. Would highly recommend!
