Freeway side was noisy with traffic. Waiting for lift down on departure for half an hour is not acceptable. Many guests resorted to stairs. Bedding a bit light and cooling was too cool. Took a long time to warm up.

"I stayed at Novotel South Wharf recently and had a really good experience. The location is spot on — right next to the Convention Centre and DFO, so it was super easy to get around. My room was clean, modern, and comfortable, with a nice view of the city. The staff were welcoming and helpful which made check-in and check-out smooth. Breakfast had plenty of options, though it did get a bit busy at times. The only downside was the parking, which felt a bit pricey. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and would happily come back again."
