Overall, we enjoyed our stay in the hotel. The room was comfortable although some chairs were worn. Amenities were up to Sofitel standards. Staffs were courteous. As an expedia gold member, we were eligible for a room upgrade and complimentary items (bottle of wine, etc.). The hotel did not offer any. Maybe a notification should have been sent from expedia.

Parking is quite expensive and you can only do valet. I believe there was a note about soundproof rooms. The rooms are not soundproof. Housekeeping was very dependable and thorough. Its an older property so the rooms are definitely a little dated.

I booked a king suite and was given a queen room. Was told by the front desk that the hotel has no queen bedrooms. Housekeeping said yes our room was a queen. Had a miserable night thinking I was cheated out of our king room. Insisted on discount for the subpar room the next day. Will never go back
