The Business Inn
We enjoyed the neighbourhood vibe. Close to restaurants and attractions. The small details like a lighted makeup mirror, air filter and white noise machine were unique. Very comfortable! The only downside is the underground parking has a very low ceiling and was very tight. Be warned!
