All the staff, including reception, restaurant and bar were friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and I had no hesitation in leaving a tip for the cleaners. The Queen bed was lovely. The sofa bed less so. The meals in the restaurant were delicious.

I would like to start by saying that the room was very nice clean and quiet. There was a half bottle of water left in the fridge which I’m assuming was from another guest. The people doing the check in and out were very pleasant and welcoming. We also had a very nice breakfast the next day. The disappointing part of our visit was dinner in the restaurant our first night. I made reservations and were seated on time. I had indicated that it was our anniversary (30th) and I did see it on the notes for the reservation. Our waiter seemed very flustered and not particularly focused. The main issues I had with dinner were the lack of attention from the waiter, and A very disappointing main course. I ordered the pork porterhouse and when it came it was not what I expected. It was very thin and dry, my wife wanted to to send it back but I don’t like doing things like that so I eat it. A couple next to us ordered the same meal and when the pork came it was what you would expect (thick and juicy) as well they were given steak knives to cut the meat. When our waiter returned we pointed out that the people next to us received a much better quality meal then we did. His response was that he just serves the food they send out from the kitchen and he doesn’t control the quality. He said he would let the itches know but I’m pretty sure he never did. There was also no recognition of our anniversary which was disappointing. this wasn’t our 1st visit but will be our last.

Comfortable and friendly, great staff. Close to all the theatres. Was concerned about new owners (I've stayed many times before) but the only difference was a few upgrades. Still my favourite place to stay when I'm in town

Access to our room on 3rd floor from front entrance difficult. Had to navigate past a narrow area along the bar to get to the back & open a very heavy door to access the elevator. Separate front entrance had very steep stairs to climb. Not ideal for older guests with luggage.

Loved Foster's!!

I booked an extra day at the last minute. The staff (Laurie) worked with me to make the transition to a new room seamless. The service in the dining room (Scott) was excellent with respect to recommendations and knowledge of the menu.

When I voiced my concern about no onsite parking staff were very argumentative and unprofessional. I was also double billed on my credit card and was unable to contact the hotel directly. I have had to waste time and effort to get the issue resolved. As of this time the money has not been returned to my card!

Everything at the hotel was very satisfactory. However the bed mattress Was deeply grooved in the centre. it caused us ( in a queen ) to constantly roll into a valley and bump into each other. Thus repeatedly disturbing our nights sleep. A new mattress is suggested. We were in the “Skylite” room 3 rd floor.

Located centrally. The room had no windows, only a skylight so even during the day it was darkness in the room however the skylight had no coverage so early in the morning the room was lit up. Also, the bathroom had a large window so if someone uses the bathroom at night and turns on the light, it lights up the sleeping area. Parking is not at the hotel but in a free public parking lot several blocks away.
