It has a big room without essentials , such as proper light or an average air conditioner . In addition , there were not enough facilities , such as water .

I really enjoyed our stay, The walk to the parking lot is a bit of a hike, but everything is right there if you need anything.. Thought it was strange that the food court closes at right at supper time 5pm... But lots of place to choose from.. Still waiting for my $150 deposit to be returned to my card

The rooms were alright. The pool is nice. But otherwise not very good service. There were tiny amounts of soap and shampoo in the room. We had to ask for m more. The deposit was actually charged to my credit card, instead of just being not available for use. To solve this problem we had to call the hotline of the hotel several times, but we never were able to talk to anybody, we could just leave a message. Staff at the front desk told us the parking in the scotia square was included. In the end it was not, until we complained, that we were told otherwise. Parking options are all far away. Accessibility therefor is bad.

The worst part about this hotel is the parking situation. You have to park off site in a garage which is “connected” to the hotel through a long winding indoor passageway that includes elevators and escalators and walking through the mall food court. If you try to pull up to the front of the hotel when it’s busy you are going to have to do laps around the city until someone leaves and there is space for you to pull in. The hotel is right downtown and there is room for maybe 4-5 cars to be out front at one time. If you can, try to time your arrival/departure so it’s not during peak times.

Thank you for taking the time to share your recent experience at the Barrington Hotel with us. We here at the Barrington Hotel know that the state of our product is getting dated and in need of a revamp, but we strive to make up for what we lack in a renovated product by offering the best customer service possible from every department from housekeeping, front office, to culinary. I am happy to hear that we were able to achieve this during your stay.
