This is a perfectly sufficient hotel, chosen b/c of online deal only. Regular price is more than I would normally pay. Clean, quiet, and fairly posh. Staff speaks English, and were all very helpful. Main reason for 3 stars is the location (near a conference center, so of course it's going to be touristy...this is our fault). The air is Very dry in the hotel, so make sure to head to the Space Market down the street for some large bottles of water, snacks, fruit, and wine...no complimentary water here, and the downstairs cafe and vending machines are pricey. Very close to a metro stop, but it takes awhile to ride into the heart of the city; watch your wallets and phones in the metro. No coffee maker or kettle in the room. But there is a mini fridge. The room was very small. So if you get a room with two beds, they are very close together. Fine for my friend and I, but very close quarters if you are traveling with 4 people. Make sure to visit the Canadian Embassy Pub on the next block! That was the highlight of our stay here. Only picture taken is a view from a window in one of the hallways of the hotel.
