1 week business stay
Stayed in this hotel a long time ago and was pleased to see the rooms have been updated. Clean and tidy and with plenty of storage, and a good shower. I noted the lifts were really easy to get, I never needed to wait for more than 30 seconds. Tried the pool and (unadvertised) sauna which were both enjoyable. Only weird thing is you have to walk through the gym area wet from your swim to get to the changing room.

Staff were friendly, location is great for walking ..no onsite parking, valet only parking at almost 40$/night plus tip if you wanted your car.seems that booking on this site gives you a less than expected room for the money.wall paper pealing off in the bathroom to missing items after housekeeping attended our room..long black hairs( not ours) on the ceiling of the shower.. three night stay and was still there on check out.. over flow drain on bathroom sink looked like it was never rinsed or cleaned since it was installed..

Absolutely wonderful hotel with a top notch staff. Every single staff member was attentive, caring, and helpful. Room was comfortable and clean, really couldn’t ask for anything more. Great location with convenient access to everything! Short walk to parliament and by ward market, right across from confederation park and east access to the bike/multi use path. Taxi, bus and electric scooters right outside the door, short walk to train stations.
