The hotel staff are all excellent! Very friendly and so welcoming. The hotel restaurant serves a delicious breakfast with great choices. The gym is small but had the basics and got the job done just fine. The room was very spacious but the split bathroom layout was a little odd

The hotel lobby is beautiful. Staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms and hallways need som serious TLC. I have stayed in 2 and 3 star hotels with nice rooms. The floors are ripped up and chipped, the bathroom is a bit dirty and unappealing and the halls/rooms smell musty and old. If everything was as beautiful as the lobby and elevators, this hotel would be what you expect from a 4 or 5 star hotel. With the condition of the rooms, I would give this a 1-2 star. Just not what you expect when paying $300/night CAD.

Not fond of how A/C functions in the rooms- noisy. Woke me up at night. Bar was woeful. Housekeeping was very good.
