| - This is a beautiful hotel and the location is very good (although the street itself is busy and not particularly picturesque). The staff could not have been friendlier, including perfect (and kind) english. Wi-fi is free, which is always a plus (seems pretty standard in Canada, but definitely not at similar hotels in the US). The room was charming with exposed brick, lovely comfortable bed and pillows/duvet, large bathroom with nice amenities. The room was on the small side (just big enough for the queen bed, a large desk/minibar, and a single comfy chair), but big enough for two. Robes and even an umbrella provided for use. We were on the seventh floor above the bar/club and didn't get any noise (we didn't use our comp drink coupon, either - wish we could have used it for the mini-bar!). The room was well-appointed with liquor and wine/beer and other items (just very very pricey). We got the room for a decent price (relative to this hotel and also others like it), but everything else is extra - parking, plus tips to bring ice (no machine to serve yourself), bags, retrieve your car. It just gets tiresome, plus the waiting involved. If you are, like me, a self-serve kind of person, brace yourself (and plan ahead with enough small bills!).
