The Good
Guests were somewhat divided in opinion about the hotel. Guests who liked the hotel were typically very pleased with the location, the size of the rooms and the sense of value for being right downtown.

Everyone loved the location. Guests spoke about being an easy walk to subway service, great restaurants, the financial district, St. Lawrence Market, Sony Centre for the Performing Arts and Royal Alexandra Theatre.

Some guests had good interactions with staff and said they were friendly and eager to please (but this was not always the case according to the reviewers).

Guests were mixed about the rooms, some saying they were spacious, with comfortable beds, quiet and clean and others writing detailed reports of their dissatisfaction.

Several guests enjoyed meals at the restaurant on site (although some thought the atmosphere was lacking).

The Bad
Guests issues seemed to abound with the hotel not fulfilling expectations either for the price, or for the fact that guests thought they were getting a 4 star hotel, which this definitely wasn't in their opinion.

Room complaints were: not enough cable channels, no pay movies as advertised, some rooms were tiny and had no sitting area other than a desk, kitchenettes were poorly equipped for cooking with pots, pans and utensils lacking, mouldy bathrooms, poor water pressure in shower, grimey tiles, dust, dirt, scratches, hair on bathroom floors, dirty toilet seat, scuffed walls, chipped counters, stained sheets, old TVs, old worn and stained sofabed mattresses, old and sunken uncomfortable couch.

Staff complaints were: no housekeeping during the stay, not enough towels provided for the number of people, hotel says its too expensive to provide tea bags, housekeeping knocking on door to clean room on check out day at 8:30 am, not greeted by desk staff when coming and going, and guest never remembered on return visits.

Other complaints: fitness room small, the only treadmill was out of order, renos done were poor quality and incomplete in lobby, lobby looked run down, restaurant had a dark and dingy bar and poor overall atmosphere, no pool, no sauna and no lounge area for guests.

Parking was limited and expensive.

Some felt the hotel was too expensive. Others complained of the "hidden" amenity fee which was really a way of charging for Wi-Fi, large deposits taken on guests' credit cards and expensive mini-bar items.
