    The temperature was a bit random. One degree adjustment was either too hot of blasting cold. Bathroom was a bit odd but for a day stay it was fine.

    Location was great, the room was adequate for a one night layover.

    The pillows were too big, so a little uncomfortable (for my liking). There wasn’t really anything else we didn’t like about it.

    The bar downstairs was really cute, and the room was nice. The staff were fantastic and helpful. We ordered bread and butter from the bar, and avocado toast with room service in the morning and both were phenomenal- assuming the rest of the menu would be similar. The bar had a jar of candies at the desk which was a nice little touch that we loved.

    Parking was too expensive. I feel it should be included in the listed price for your room.

    I loved the older style of the building, it gave off a very elegant vibe. The bellman was well dressed and very welcoming. The front desk staff were informative & friendly.

    Overall feels like it needs a good coat of paint. Elevators feel like they are in a low-income building. One elevator was under repair but there were no signs so no one knew why it took so long. There was a piece of artwork actually missing from our room - with hooks still there we informed front desk who also found that strange.

    Great location, staff is friendly. Food in dining room is good. Rooms are clean/well kept other than needing repairs and basic upgrades.

    Lovely older hotel close to hospitals

    The 9th floor room was on the small side - a small closet, no drawers except for extra-wide bedside tables, but not a real problem for a one-night stay. Room heating was an issue. When we turned up the temp, the metal electrical baseboard heaters got dangerously hot. The heat didn't reach the small bathroom - because the ventilation in the bathroom was so noisy & couldn't be turned off, we kept the door closed. We mentioned the heating issue to staff, they apologized & offered to send up maintenance, but because of the late hour we declined. We would look for a larger, more up-to-date room if we stay again.

    A lovely old-style hotel, with a beautiful lobby. Underground parking was accessible from the hotel, and a doorman was helpful & welcoming. Desk staff were very friendly & helpful, and attempted to deal with a room issue quickly. Great view over the adjacent park. We enjoyed an evening meal in the restaurant. The location was very good for our medical appt at QEII (walking distance). Lots of small restaurants & cafes in area. We stayed one night.
