Not enough lifts and it’s a little too out of the way unless you are attending the convention centre. Staff were all amazing however and the room was small but nice. I would say good value for what you pay as well would definitely come back.

The location is the only redeeming feature for this property. I found the infinity pool really dirty, they need to clean the soap scum off the glass, it's also really small pool for the property size and no where to sit at the pool area or at breakfast. They had limited service stafff at breakfast and had to clean own table and remove dirty dishes in order to get a place to sit. I asked the wait staff where I coule get cleaner for the table and she told me to go the lobby staff and the lobby staff said they dint have any so had no choice but to eat our breakfast at a dirty table. Also the lifts take forever to go up and down, really really slow. They had 1 coffee machine for all their guests so big queues for coffee and it was yuck anyways. Breakfast wasnt worth it, limited options. Rooms are really small. So all in all wayyyy overpriced for what you get, I wont be coming back.

There’s no parking at this property at all, you have to park at DFO and walk a kilometre. The elevators are the worst I’ve ever seen, be prepared to wait 10 minutes every time you need to go out. Rooms are tiny and very cheaply built for the price you’re paying, grout and silicon in the shower is mouldy. Also the swimming pool looked much bigger and better on the photos, idk it’s an interesting place it’s not bad but definitely not worth the money.

So I was only there for one night as soon as I entered the room. It was nice and spacious. The only downside was I got given a bottle of champagne and I got given to me that at reception no ice bucket no nothing. There was no room service menu to order from I had to google it at my self: online there was no cold water in the fridge. If I wanted some I had to call down to guest servies to get some And also for happy hour. I was told the wrong times to arrive so I missed out on that personally I wouldn’t stay to get there again. No parking on site. Had to walk 10 minutes to and from the hotel.
