Booking Tips for a Better Stay

🎯

Pick a Direction First

Decide what matters most — city energy, landmarks, or quiet — before looking at floors. North and south faces give the strongest views at this property.

📋

Request 3 Room Numbers, Not 1

Use the viewer to shortlist your top 3 rooms in order. Specific requests beat upgrade asks — hotels can usually honor a ranked list even close to arrival.

🏙️

Floor Matters Less Than Direction

A mid-floor room facing south toward Union Station can outperform a high floor facing an adjacent building. Check the RoomRank score in the viewer for each candidate.
