This under-the-radar, European-style property has never changed its old-school approach to good service and solid, dependable amenities. Rooms have an elegant, business-hotel feel, but the spacious apartment-style executive corner suites – with their quiet, recessed bedrooms – are best. There's a small on-site fitness room (plus free loaner bicycles) and the hotel runs a shuttle bus around the city for guests.
A good location near the city center adds to the appeal here, and if you're planning to catch a hockey, football or soccer game, the city's two main stadiums are just steps away. Overnight parking costs $30.
