Check-in was very friendly. Free parking was available (which is always appreciated). I was able to book the room the same day, very grateful for that. The room had a good supply of tea, coffee, sugar, and milk.

Actually Surprised by This Gem

cute staffhot stonemeat qualitycomfy room
I booked a brief stay to meet family visiting from abroad. My nephew was keen on trying a steak, so we ate there. The staff were EXCELLENT and very cute. The kitchen's aroma was enticing and the food DELIVERED. We all enjoyed the hot stone concept. Being steak lovers, my family were impressed with the meat quality. Our Double Room Private Bathroom was comfy. I slept very WELL.
The shower head in my room would not stay in place, a minor inconvenience.

The room was quite clean. The shower was good. There was a plentiful supply of tea and coffee. I also appreciated the soft towels.
The noise from the street was noticeable (I had to keep the window open because of the weather). It felt more like a poorly decorated bedroom than a hotel room. The furnishings seemed old fashioned.
