    Breakfast area is a bit small and can get super busy. The breakfast buffet is very limited, but you may also order from the breakfast menu.

    Very comfortable and quiet

    The restaurant was ok. Overpriced for the quality of food. Had dinner and breakfast there once and then ate out every other day.

    Hotel is in a great location being just down from Parliament Hill and Eglin St. itself being busy with lots of places to eat etc. Rooms were comfy, decent swimming pool, hot tub & sauna.

    Room looks very ordinary. I expected more classic/vintage/historical stile and ambient.

    Personnel readily provided all available option for addressed concerns. Fast and effective service. Showers and cleanliness is excellent.

    Elevators are mechanically noisy(our room was close to them), and guests were speaking loudly as they waited for them, as well as shouting down the hall to each other, at all hours of the night. Perhaps the hotel could include a gentle reminder to be considerate of other guests in its welcome materials

    Location, size and comfort of room, breakfast in restaurant, friendliness of staff

    You have to use valet service which was another $45. They did not disclose this. On the website it said 25 to park... I had an elderly person with me and had no option but to pay the $45. Also, there was a pride parade that blocked the street and access to the hotel until after 4:00 p.m. The hotel knew when I called that I had a senior with me. This caused us difficulty and I didn't appreciate that. The hot tub needs to be cleaned out and freshwater the towels at the pool area are worn out, The mattresses need mattress covers or pillow tops added. They were not very comfortable, The towels also should be upgraded or replaced.,

    The staff were very friendly and pleasant

    There was a fire alarm/evacuation that was not well handled. No acknowledgment of the inconvenience it caused guests, no apologies , no information on cause or implications. No compensation offered, although, when asked, some was given.

    Very central . Convenient , clean and good quality.

    We were on the 9th floor and had asked for a room on a higher floor. The two double beds in the room were comfortable. The furniture was a little dated and the view was of the hotel roof from all aspects. The location was central and easily accessible to all areas by foot.
