The Good
For guests that had a positive experience at this hotel, much of it could be attributed to the service from the staff and the convenience of the location.

Guests praised the staff at this hotel, and used words like "friendly", "helpful" and "efficient" to describe them. There were comments like "first class service" and "top shelf". Guests said that staff were particularly helpful in offering suggestions for sightseeing, and in giving directions. 

Location was a big draw for a number of guests, who said that they were able to easily walk to a number of attractions. A few guests particularly liked the close proximity to Prince's Island Park (about an 18 minute walk). Guests used words like "perfect" and "excellent" when describing the location.

There were a few additional compliments on things like the quality of food in the restaurant, on views from the rooms and from guests who enjoyed the pool area.

The Bad
Although a number of reviews used for this analysis were positive, there were a few common points among guest complaints.

A number of guests had issues with parking. Some guests indicated that the lot was small, difficult to navigate and that spaces were limited. Spaces were awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis. Several guests were not able to secure parking spots and had to park elsewhere, which was inconvenient. Some other guests felt that the parking fee was excessive.

There were comments from a few guests about a lack of detailed cleaning, both in the rooms and in the common areas. Elevators, bathroom tubs and coffee cups in the rooms were mentioned specifically.

A few guests felt that the hotel was expensive, and used words like "pricey", "winced at the price" and "not cheap". Some other guests commented that room service was on the expensive side as well.

Noise was an issue for some guests, who were bothered by street noise. One guest said that noise from traffic prevented him from sleeping. Some other guests felt that walls were thin, and were bothered by noise from guests in neighbouring rooms.

There were some peripheral negative comments regarding uncomfortable beds.
Confirmed with a front desk agent: Wi-Fi and parking (call date: July 13, 2012).

"stayed there during the stampede and the hotel really entered into the spirit of the occassion.Bar entertainment gave it the country and western type feel. The hotel really gave us a memorable end to a fantastic holiday in Canada. Having a room on the 24th floor overlooking the river made it extra special."
