Absolutely incredible stay at The Lord Elgin hotel. Hotel couldn’t be more central. Right from check in, all if the hotel staff were very friendly and accommodating. We had a beautiful room overlooking the city. The room was spotless and very nicely decorated with everything we needed including a really comfortable bed. Wanted to say a very special thank you to Immaculata who was working at the front desk. Very friendly and kind with excellent customer service skills. She went above and beyond to make sure our special occasion weekend was a memorable one. Also special shout out thank you's to Claire, Gus, Bana and Nancy! Thank you and we will definitely be back again!

Room was dusty and both sheets on my bed had holes in. They had a party on the 2nd floor which had raging dance music so loud we could hear it over the television in our bedroom three floors above, it was allowed to go on very late. I do not think I will return to the hotel as standards seemed to have slipped a lot.

The room was fine and the location is hard to beat. It was my first time back at the Lord Elgin in about ten years and while I appreciate that it's being renovated, I think I would have appreciated some heads-up on that. There was a lot of construction and things in the way and the fire alarms were tested at least twice while I was there, including once for fifteen minutes while I was in a meeting. Just a heads up would have been nice.
