Good fresh breakfast, definitely should have more than 1/3 eggs and 1/3 ham on a 3/3 chafing dish though. Renovations woke me us in the morning, loud drilling and we weren't pleased with that. Room 104 was us. We would like to come back

I enjoy staying at this hotel, right beside the parliament building and a very walkable neighborhood, the inner harbour a minutes walk. The free breakfast is another reason I stay, the chef has been here for 13 years and takes pride in what he serves. Hot Food line up varies slightly each day but you’ll get a meat choice, hot scrambled egg choice, hash browns plus all the usual offerings such as make your own waffle, dry cereals, mixed cut fruit, bagels, muffins, juice choices, etc. Don’t forget to tip!! My room had a slightly musty damp odour, a first in all the times I’ve stayed here. Hotel is under renovation, new owners and a lot of the long term staff have been let go. Charge for parking now as well . Hotel has two smaller elevators and friendly staff.

Great location. Room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Especially appreciated their flexibility in letting us park our car there for a few hours both before check-in and after check-out. My only complaint was the breakfast. Pretty lousy.

It was a very pleasant stay. The included breakfast is excellent! All the staff we dealt with were friendly and helpful and gave us tips on special events in the area. There was daily housekeeping and they were very quick and efficicent, keeping the room spotless. We will definitely be returning.

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was great with comfy beds and assortment of pillows and a great little balcony to allow fresh air in the room. I’ve stayed here numerous times due to the easy parking right outside the hotel doors and the great location. I wasn’t happy to discover that they now charge for parking. I was especially unhappy because it was a surprise and not disclosed when I booked through Hotels.com. Still a well priced hotel but if they are going to charge you a fee for something you should have Advanced notice. The breakfast buffet was good, but not pleasant because the staff watched your every move in case you were going to steal an apple or something which was very unpleasant.
