We had a great stay at Parkside. The room was sparkling clean and came with everything you needed for an extended stay. It felt like an apartment. There were even electric fireplaces in the living room and bedroom. The patio was large and there was even an apple tree next to it. The service was great.

Beautiful grounds, quiet interior (except noisy elevator, make sure you're room isn't next to it). Wonderful location very close to downtown museum and restaurants and next to two beautiful parks. Highly recommended.

I booked this without fully reading the reviews and was pleasantly surprised at how awesome this stay was! The staff was incredibly friendly, the location was much closer to everything than expected, and the amenities were over the top! From Koi fish feeding in the lobby, to bicycle rentals (free), the amazing pool, the theatre, the rooftop s’mores party and more! It was clean, the room was HUGE with a large covered patio. I’m impressed! Last time we stayed at the Empress and we will be staying here next time. I was a bit worried that it didn’t have a/c which is typically a dealbreaker, but we had two Dyson fans provided and an incredible breeze. Loved every minute of this vacation!

We were very satisfied. Underground garage enabled us to charge our car. Check-in was smooth and friendly. Our suite was modern and well equipped. All beds were comfortable. A small balcony was an additional bonus. The only surprising and hard to understand feature is a missing door between the bedroom and its bathroom - even for a romantic couple this is simply too much, especially because the toilet is right there.

Great spot, kids loved the fish, and the free bike rentals were a nice perk. Only thing we didn't like is that the AC was disabled for "environmental reasons", this should be on the listing. (Tip: check the breaker)
