    It was fine….but as a little get away for my wife and I, I regretted not booking at the Delta or Marriott Waters Edge.

    Room was tired….needs updating….bathroom was worn down. We had an adjoining room, and on the first night, there was a woman in labour next door. She was in great discomfort, and groaned every hour or so throughout the night (we didn’t know her condition). Knowing there was a pregnant woman next door in labour, we should not have been put in the adjoining room…I could see the light under the door, and the sounds kept us awake all night. We spoke to the front desk the next morning and she said that we could move rooms if they didn’t check out. She explained that the woman was pregnant and waiting to go to the hospital. Knowing that, we should have been offered another room. They did check out that day, so we kept the room for the second night.

    Location was excellent. Parking was convenient.

    The room was large and spacious though a bit outdated. You could tell the bathroom, though big, was well enjoyed by many others, though I know they are at the beginning of their transformation after being acquired by another hotel company so the updates will be well warranted.

    Central location was great for walking, we are craft beer lovers so it was perfect as we were beside a craft brewery. Parking was central and easy to access and the room was very spacious though a bit noisy as we were right beside the stairwell and the doors are thin.

    The bed was very uncomfortable and springy ,and there wasn’t even a mattress pad to disguise it better. although, I will say that the blankets , pillows and duvet were very nice. There were 3 ice machines (3 different floors)and only one of them worked (that can not be blamed on renovations) There were lots of things that were in need of upgrades, replacement….I do realize that the hotel is supposed to be “under renovation” but it felt a little more like we were staying at a motel instead of a four points.

    Our room was very clean. LOCATION AND VIEW!

    the property is currently under renovation which we where not informed about. There was a significant amount of drilling going on, we where told it could as late as 8pm. After complaining to the front desk they where understanding and moved us to a room farther from the construction area.

    The location was close to everything downtown and the waterfront.

    The room was warm we couldn't get the cooler to work and the window was small. Also we could hear clearly the people in the next room because of an adjoining door.

    The location is great and parking is convenient although pricey.

    The shower wasn’t great… the jet of water didn’t ever seem right, but that’s a small point.

    The location was great and the staff was very friendly. The hotel is getting a bit old, but it’s clean and the bed was comfortable. The restaurant was a pleasant surprise. Breakfast was simple but good and the service was great.
