We found ourselves staying at what was the Lorien Hotel and SPA two weeks after the acquisition by the Archer Group. The staff were still working out the bugs in their new systems. The big complaint was with the HVAC Systems in what seemed to be many of the rooms. Noisy with water dripping from the condensation lines and loud noises when the system kicked off and on. All of which made sleeping through the night impossible. Not what one would expect from a higher end hotel. The staff were most apologetic and accommodating, but they were clearly unable to rectify the problems.

Stayed in the Lorien Hotel & Spa Suite with Balcony; it smelled horrible. They tried to turn the AC down to 69 to maybe mask the smell of the room, which also had no circulation at all. The pictures do not portray the way the area looked, which was misconceived and very small. The bathroom is too open and anyone could really hurt themselves on the border on the floor between the shower area and bathroom floor, I tripped and almost broke my nose, considering it’s the exact same color as the floor and shower floor, you do not see it at all. Upon checking in, there was an added charge onto the bill for WiFi, bikes, coffee service, and use of facility amenities which were not disclosed or known during booking, which is a very high inconvenience. If we had known the amount would have ended up that high, we wouldn’t have stayed there and would have stayed elsewhere. The main floor also smelled, along with the elevator, and when we left it felt like we just escaped from mold poisoning. I am aware this hotel is older and established but the upkeep has not done a great job at keeping their place of business fresh and clean. Would not stay here again, regret even staying here at all.

Situated back off one of the cutest streets! Many shops and restaurants. King Street has a free trolley and the metro is a couple of small blocks away. Based off the fact that the building may be older, the room we got was an odd layout. The bathroom seemed to be bigger than the rest of the livable area of the space. It looks like they recently remodeled it, so it looked really nice. The only sink is inside the massive bathroom and the only mirror in the space with plugs next to it, was in the bathroom. So if you have other people sharing the space, you have to wait til they’re done on the toilet or shower if you want to do your hair/makeup. The sofabed mattress was not very good, my kids complained that the mattress was too springy and it would sometimes foldover itself when you wanted to fold the bed away. There were no dressers in our room, just a closet. But they make up for these smaller inconveniences with a nice (but small) gym and a free wine hour in the library. Their restaurant has great food too. Also very well air conditioned!!

The bathtub is the star of the room. Very amazing but this hotel needs to be updated. The prices are pretty insane for how little they offer and how dated the hotel is. The WiFi is extremely slow. The blackout curtains don’t close all the way. I had to use the ironing board to keep one side shut. They transport the trash in the main elevators so the elevators stink daily. The housekeeper was the nicest person there and she barely spoke English but she was so nice and kind whenever we asked her to come back. I’d come again for the tub but never for the price we paid. They also hold way too much money … like an extra 2-300. If they updated their rooms then I would understand the pricing but it’s just a little ridiculous.
