"The hotel was very nice, the staff was very helpful, they suggested other parking options than their underground parking at $35 a day cost. The disappointment of this hotel was the breakfast that I paid for , turned out to be yogurt, granola bars, plain croissants and coffee, was told there were not kitchen staff since it was a holiday. From past stays at AC hotels, the breakfast was an elaborate buffet with a European vibe. Great location to walk to shopping, restaurants or other attractions!"
