Summary: Very nice overall stay Room was clean Very nice views. We did not have a top sheet and not sure if that is normal for the hotel or not. The water pressure in the shower could have been better I would strongly recommend installing hose and wand type showers. They tend to use less water and make rinsing much easier and more efficient. We did the breakfast buffet once and a bit expensive and although it was good for the same thing it is free at many hotels for the same thing.

Summary: The room was comfy, the room-darkening curtains were great, the conference rooms were lovely, it was nice to see that Alex Janvier's mural was still there even though it took a little to find it in the fitness room. The food at the restaurant wasn't very good.

Summary: They decided randomly not to have room service but didn't advise anyone. Merely had voice message when rang for RS asking to leave message with room number and someone will call back. After 4 attempts over 1.5 hours I went to front desk to be informed that RS had been cancelled that evening (and most evenings during my stay). Only one lift working (result of deliberate damage caused over Christmas) no attempt to fix it) nor the front entrance where the car ran through and then hit the lift). Their room charge system wasn't working so every meal and charge had to be paid for separately at the time.

Summary: The beds, food, staff and shuttle were excellent! The gym had some negative reviews but it has everything needed and was bigger than most hotel gyms. The bathroom in my room needed some maintenance (rocking toilet, missing caulking), but was clean at least.
