I had such a great stay! The hotel rooms were perfect for our family of 5, clean, and extremely comfortable, and the staff were so friendly and professional.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were incredibly spacious and clean, making it a perfect spot for a group of friends like us. The suite we stayed in was simply beautiful and always ready for us after a day out exploring the city.

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. The rooms were much better than expected and provided the perfect amount of space for my wife, me, and our three young sons. The added benefits of coffee/tea making facilities, fridge, and microwave were very convenient. The cleanliness and comfortable beds made our stay even better. On the downside, the breakfast could have had more variety and options besides all carbs, and the takeaway plates were not to my liking.

My stay at the hotel was really great overall. The rooms were spacious and perfect for my family of five, and the hotel staff was wonderful. The location was convenient, close to the subway and restaurants. The dining experience could use some improvement in terms of variety, but it was still okay. The facilities were good, and I had a pleasant time during my stay.

Rooms

8.0

The room we had didn't cause any issues. It was the perfect amount of space for my wife, me, and our three young sons. The 1-bedroom suite was large with a little kitchenette, a table for 2, and a sitting area with a sofa bed. The only downside was the pillar that stuck about 2.5 feet at neck level into the bedroom, taking up 30% of the otherwise usable space.

Service

9.0

The service was wonderful, and the location was a great plus as well. The staff members were charming and very helpful, which was especially appreciated as we traveled with twin one-year-olds. They were incredibly helpful and so kind. Additionally, the dry cleaning and housekeeping services were excellent.

Location

The location was really good, close to the subway and restaurants. Being in the heart of the city, it was close to everything we needed. There were plenty of convenient stores nearby, such as Starbucks and small grocery stores. However, it felt very small and crowded at peak hours. It was in a doorman building and close to many excellent restaurants.

Dining

6.0

The dining experience could be improved with more choices of fruit and some savory items, but it was okay. The morning options could have been better with more choices like a hot breakfast with scrambled eggs, and I didn't like the takeaway plates. It's now extra $10 for continental and $12 for American breakfast, which is outsourced to the connected Spice Symphony restaurant.

The hotel room was very spacious, much bigger than normally available, with a main living area containing a kitchenette and a bedroom with two queen-sized beds. The staff were extremely helpful and accommodating, even assisting with a lost ID card. The location was great for accessing the subway, particularly close to Irving Farm Coffee. The dining options were more than sufficient, offering a buffet of various items. However, the room was smaller than expected, and the dining experience, while ok, could have had more variety.
