The overall property is very clean and the location is convenient for shopping and getting a quick bite to eat. The staff was very friendly and quick to offer assistance if they think you are looking a little lost. My one complaint is the free breakfast is very limited in what you can eat. But then again it is free and you have the option to pay for a regular meal

It was a great location for the last leg of our trip because we were doing a walking tour nearby, however, it was not the most comfortable and one of the two fridges in the room was not working, smelled, and a little dirty. The beds were hard as a rock, clean, but very firm. The lobby and restaurant photos certainly set you up to believe it is luxury in the midst of a very popular and populated area, but I felt the rooms need more comfort and cleanliness to add to the comfort level for the area, especially when paying for a suite.

Overall good experience. We had an early check-in and although the room was ready we had to pay some fees. Other than that it was a great downtown location and close to everything.

We chose the Balmoral due to its proximity to the museums and the availability of a 2-bedroom suite. We should have read the reviews more closely as some of the problems we encountered were mentioned in the reviews. We took our chances with the 7.4 rating hotel based on having a 2-bedroom suite in the area, but now we regret that decision. The price of the room led us to believe that it would be of higher quality. No hair dryer or coffee maker in the room (although they were in the listing). Hot water for showers is only available after running the water for a very long time. Undependable wifi. Annoying flute playing by a street vendor all day long; neighborhood full of casinos. Mediocre service for breakfast. Housekeeping accessed the room despite the fact that we had not hung up the service room sign on the door; they took away two hanging used towels and only left one new towel. Plus a strange early checkin policy and charges. All around just seemed like a badly managed hotel.

No towels or wash cloth in the room, bed was very low near the ground. Fly or mosquito ate up my leg, had to use key card to turn a/c on, not something I am use to doing. My alarm in the room went off and took maintenance over 10 minutes to get to my room, did not know there would be a 50$ charge to have guests visit with me. Overpriced for what you really got in the hotel in my opinion.

Gym had almost zero functionality. None of the equipment I wanted to use were working! Both available treadmills were broken. Overall, I couldn't use the gym. That was one of the main reasons I booked that hotel, apart from location, so that was very disappointing. Other than that the service was great and breakfasts were nice. Great customer service.

Bed bugs - about 15 bites on both legs while sleeping; still itching the following day. Other than that, while central location was ideal for quick sightseeing of most important sites, but hotel location across from casino, homeless beggars, and drug addicts along the pedestrian mall outside the hotel raised safety concerns
