Grande Centre Point Hotel Terminal 21
Great location for shopping, restaurants and general sightseeing. Hotel was clean and quiet with great views. Important to note that the hotel is a "dry hotel", you can bring in your own alcoholic drinks, but alcohol is not available at the hotel at all. Great hotel for relaxation and comfort.
