Pros - Shuttle to and from the V&A Waterfront - Location is in the heart of the city - Friendly Staff - Nice Views - Comfortable beds Cons - Cleanliness of the room was sub par for a 4 star hotel. (Oily hand marks on walls and furniture, moldy shower mat, residue and dirt stains on tub and sink areas, dirty vents.) - Limited options for food and quality of food is sub par. Better to eat at a restaurant by the V&A. - Charged CAD130 to have checkout 3 hours later. Was also given 2 different amounts and it was a note left on file, not a hotel charge. - No shuttle service to the airport. Overall, it’s an alright place to sleep at night, but would not consider this to be a 4 star hotel, 2 and a half at best. Would not stay at it again though.

Room is a little outdated. Furniture was broken. Tap in bathtub was broken/loose. Random dripping noises heard at night. Nice hotel but a little old and some work needed
