We had a room on the 8th floor with a great view, however the air conditioner in our room started making really loud noises and sounded like it was going to fall through the ceiling. We had maintenance come a try to fix it- it got better but then on our 2nd night it woke us up in the middle of the night and terrified us. When we spoke to the front desk about it, they didn’t really seem to care or take note of the issue for future travellers. We would not stay here again. The restaurant / bar also closed the outside patio really early one evening when it would have been lovely to sit outside instead of inside in the dark bar. The hotel was also under construction and only has one working elevator meaning we frequently walked to the 8th floor to get to our room.

Typical american hotel. You need a car to get around, because it is a little bit outside. Hotel was nice

Good place to stay, room was clean, shuttle was very convenient, walking distance to pretty much everywhere I wanted to go, the only downside was there was no self-serve laundry facility.

The room was comfy, the room-darkening curtains were great, the conference rooms were lovely, it was nice to see that Alex Janvier's mural was still there even though it took a little to find it in the fitness room. The food at the restaurant wasn't very good.

They decided randomly not to have room service but didn't advise anyone. Merely had voice message when rang for RS asking to leave message with room number and someone will call back. After 4 attempts over 1.5 hours I went to front desk to be informed that RS had been cancelled that evening (and most evenings during my stay). Only one lift working (result of deliberate damage caused over Christmas) no attempt to fix it) nor the front entrance where the car ran through and then hit the lift). Their room charge system wasn't working so every meal and charge had to be paid for separately at the time.

The beds, food, staff and shuttle were excellent! The gym had some negative reviews but it has everything needed and was bigger than most hotel gyms. The bathroom in my room needed some maintenance (rocking toilet, missing caulking), but was clean at least.

Dinners were far better than breakfast. Still not a lot of variety a hearty soup would have been nice given the extreme temperatures
