This hotel was by far the *best* hotel I have ever stayed in. From the kindness, ease, and efficiency of the staff to the attention to detail and thoughtful design of the room - every portion of the stay was fantastic. We couldn’t have asked for any more in a hotel stay. This place is legitimately one of a kind and amazing!

Beautiful hotel.
The rooms are spacious and extremely clean.
You can definitely tell that a lot of thought was put into the design of the hotel.
Fantastic location, can get a bit loud in the morning as it is on king st, but worth it :)
