Check in was pretty easy and fast. The hotel isn't in an ideal location if you don't drive. Walking to the mall is a little ways away but there is a shop across the road but it's pretty tricky to get across the street. The room was a good size but you don't get any extra toiletries such as tooth brush, comb, etc so make sure you have your own. The hallways did smell like smoke and the gym is on the bottom floor but was out of order my whole stay.
The room was spacious and clean, and the concierge gave us cookies when we checked in. There was water tea and coffee complimentary in the room. We were there for a concert at the spectrum center, which is only about a 5 minute walk away. The restaurants and cafes around are all very good as well.
