Stayed here the night before writing an exam at the Congress Centre. It did the job... Location-wise, it's across the street from the centre. If you're deciding between the International Plaza Hotel and the Radisson, they're pretty much the same distance from the Congress Centre.
The staff in the lobby was helpful. The Starbucks kind of sucks.. they seemed pretty miserable including the guy who looked like a manager. I had an old muffin that tasted kind of like dust.
One thing that really disappointed was the pillows. The whole purpose of me staying here was to get a good night's rest and to avoid any stress before my exam. I woke up at 3am with a neck cramp. Good thing for the crappy Starbucks in the morning!
The halls were a bit rundown with what looked like tire marks on the walls and doors... probably from luggage. The room itself was clean. I'll probably be back next year for the same exam. My experience was solid enough to return and you really can't argue with the distance.
$14 to pay for parking. I thought it was a rip off but what can you do when you live in a shoe.
Also you hear planes overhead. I never thought I would find the sound of loud planes to be soothing but I guess I do. Maybe I should move to sauga
