Better than expected! We stayed on the executive level (floors 7 or 8) for one night for business. We found the beds to be new with updated furniture then the last time we visited. The room was large enough to have a king bed, be able to set out our papers, a table, a comfort chair and foot stool and free internet use in the rooms. The hotel has internet on 2 computers downstairs in the lobby but you pay for that. We used room service and all the staff were very friendly and the food was delievered fast (20 minutes) and hot too! For an american full breakfast plus tip (already in the bill 15 %) it was less than 15.00 CAD. The pros; Quiet CLEAN room, great beds (new), choice of pillows, free in room internet and a very nice group of employees. Decent room service prices. The cons; Pay per use internet in the lobby-even if its to check your airline flight. In a nutshell; Good solid hotel for short stay, would stay again.
