The beds were comfortable, the parking was in a garage under the building and vehicle can not be taller than 6’1”. The breakfast was good, except for serving baked beans for breakfast…strange. The day we left….2/3 elevators were out of operation—took forever to leave the hotel. Not the best location..saw homeless people near in the park and on corners.

Just ok for the money but better options avail

Parking on site was good but expensive at $35 per day. Breakfast was basic but fine. Room was too humid despite air conditioning and had a stale/musky smell which never went away. Not ideal. The bed was really comfortable and the location were good but I wouldn’t stay here again. Lastly one of the photos showing a nice looking restaurant/bar are not of the hotel. Misleading for sure.

This area of downtown is a bit unsafe. The hotel was clean and OK but overpriced for what it is. The only reason we stayed here was that everything else was overpriced and full due to the four nights of Coldplay being in town.

Very very happy. Would stay again

The hotel was great. Room was clean and comfortable. Cleaning servoce staff was very friendly and attentive. Check in was easy. Parking was secure but very tight in the parking garage. Maneuvering around in the parking garage requires mad skill and im thankful my husband was the one navigating parking. Breakfast was great and well stocked.

I’ve been in Blue Mountains many times and tried all the resorts, I never had complaints about any of them, but Mosaic is outstanding. Close to everything, but not too much. Clean. The staff is amazing. They provided us with all the information that we needed. We loved the pool and hot tub. We will definitely return.

The hotel has a great location, but the stay was just okay. The room wasn’t very clean and the AC was extremely loud, at night it felt like sleeping next to a jet engine. Carpets were quite old and had an unpleasant smell. The breakfast was fine.

Great location!

Location is fantastic. Near to St Lawrence Market and easy to get around. The hotel itself is functional but has a great, powerful shower and the bed is comfy. The free breakfast is nothing special but hey, it’s free. The service was really good.
