Restaurant was very nice, because view, pleasant staff, lovely food and fire pit. The bar was lovely too, staff very pleasant and helpful. Lovely fireplace and comfortable seating areas.
Could do with another area in hotel, not in the reception. A room away from bedroom to talk, read, play games & With tea and coffee. Could do with a shop or more venting machine, so as not to have to go outside (very cold) to purchase items.

The room was well furnished and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. The bar and restaurant were nice. The wifi worked well and the staff were friendly.
On my floor I counted a dozen room service trays left abandoned in the corridor outside rooms. The hotel doesn't appear to have enough staff to collect trays once finished. It really brought the hotel down and leaving empty trays around could attract rodents.

They put me on the top floor away from the elevators as I requested. The bed was very comfortable. The clerks were very lovely to me.
I couldn't get hooked up to the wifi. I tried 2 different laptops and my phone. The wifi connection in that room may be precarious.

Overall, I was very impressed with the hotel. The bed was exceptionally comfortable. The room service prices and food portions were good value
For 2 of the 8 nights there was a lot of noise from an adjacent room interrupting our sleep. The front desk staff were not very friendly.

I loved the restaurant, service staff were friendly and helpful. Ruby was a pleasure to speak with.
There were a lot of guests smoking right outside the front door, they would walk in and get in the elevator stinking of smoke - even with my mask on, the smell was overpowering.

Nice hotel and good facilities. Good airport shuttle. Otherwise excellent stay despite during vicious lockdown. I requested high floor with a nice view to the North and they honoured it.
The mattress sags a bit and too soft.

The service and the room were excellent!
The outdoors seems a little shabby and uncared for. And the parking lot is awful for space. I did not like how the driveway drove up and how you weren’t able to tell if the upper lot was full
