Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location is convenient, with major tourist attractions reachable within a 20-minute walk. It was very nice to have both a washer and dryer in the room. There is plenty of storage space for clothing in drawers and cabinet shelves as well as plenty of space (over a 4-foot expanse) to place our toiletries on the vanity —something that has gradually disappeared in many newly renovated hotels. We also enjoyed a great view of the city, and the staff was friendly. However, there were a few issues. The shower room leaked when the showerhead was used in a portable way. The AC remote control did not function properly, so we were unable to adjust the temperature. Although staff came to fix it twice, the problem was not resolved. Additionally, the AC fan made an annoying high-pitched noise. Overall, I would rate this stay a 4.5.

The room was one of the renovated rooms and was clean and enough room for 2 people. Hotel is in great location for downtiwn and Viaduct Basin - plenty of shops and place to eat. Staff we dealt with were lovely and helpful. Gym and pool were good. My only thing I needed was a full length mirror in room so could check out attire as we were going to wedding. Otherwise stay was good, no complaints.

I was unsure what to expect after reading mixed reviews. Sure the room decor was a bit "tired" but I understand that renovations are being carried out. It was acceptably clean but not spotless. However 10/10 in all the important things. It had the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on, plenty of hot water and great water pressure. Viaduct, supermarkets and great range of eateries all within a few minutes walk. Same goes for buses. Every staff member I met was friendly, courteous and obliging. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again.
