| - My work was considering holding an event here for work, so keep in mind that the Event Manager was working really hard at convincing me to book here, and I'm easily wooed. He's lovely, btw!
That being said, I loved this hotel. I stayed here while working another event at the Carlu, so unfortunately I really didn't have enough time to enjoy it as I wanted, BUT the time I had there was awesome.
They put me up at a stupid cheap rate in one of their fancy large rooms with kitchen, couch, etc. It was nice to have my husband join me later and just chill and watch tv. The suite itself had a definite condo feeling to it; washer and dryer in a closet, tv in both the main area and the bedroom, and modern looking décor throughout. I'm usually a fan of retro kitsch, but was definitely wooed by the cleanliness and modernness of the suite, and really the entire hotel itself.
The décor throughout is fun, one of the elevators has a great red light in it that makes you feel saucy (until a family of tourists pile in!). And if you want some greasy breakfast, Frans is connected to the hotel, and then you can shop it off at the Eaton Centre down the street.
Housekeeping delivered me some delicious chocolate covered strawberries, some healing rocks from the Pantages Spa and a handwritten welcome note. I felt very taken care of, and think that next time I feel like just escaping the house for a "treat-me night", I'll be shacking up at the Pantages.
