A Sweet Embrace in the City

superb locationtrue kindnessdelicious breakfastoutdated equipment
The hotel's location was superb for exploration. I could walk to many points of interest. This made sightseeing simple. The staff showed true kindness. They quickly responded to my requests. I found the breakfast delicious, too. The variety of choices impressed me. I appreciated the beautiful, fresh food that was available.
I found the gym equipment needed some updates. It felt a little outdated. It made my workout less efficient than I hoped.

satisfactory experience at this hotel

waterfront locationfront deskhelpful receptionunderwhelming lobbyno restroomtv casting
The waterfront location proved very convenient. I also found it easy to access nearby facilities. The fast service from the front desk was good. The young woman at reception was helpful.
The lobby did feel somewhat underwhelming. I found no restrooms available while waiting to check in. The tv did not allow casting from a mobile device. It made using streaming apps difficult

Excellent Location, Minor Issues

filling stationseasy accessgreat amountbroken shutters
The hotel is near attractions, like the aquarium and the CN Tower. Bottle filling stations on each floor are available, instead of bottled water. I liked this touch. The location provides easy access to Rogers Centre and Union Station.
The room shutters in the bathroom were broken. It showed a lack of attention to detail from the cleaning staff. An opened can of beer sat in the fridge. The toilet paper holder was also broken!!!
