How this is written: we run the full set of recent Google reviews through AI to pull out what guests consistently say — including the complaints, which is why there's a downsides list rather than only the good bits. It's rewritten as new reviews come in, so it describes the hotel as it is now, not as it was whenever someone last got round to writing a paragraph about it.

Not a bad corner store, but it’s truly a guessing game as to when they’re open or not. Wasted my time on multiple occasions coming when they should be open and aren’t.

Nice and clean, shelves little shy of products or selection. Great for quick needed items or a quick pop in before the light rail. Mostly prepackages items no fresh produce, that could be a nice addition to the options. Especially the proximity to the light rail station. Good friendly service.
