The unit was nice enough but it was not convenient and not value for money- parking is $35-$40/night. Staff not friendly or helpful when asking simple questions (wifi/gym). Building is interesting but if you want a unit (e.g. I wanted small kitchen and washer/dryer) there at much more comfortable and less expensive options within easy walking distance. They’ve gone to extreme to be modern at the expense of comfort and ease for travellers.

From the moment you pull up in the car at this hotel you realize it will have some challenges. All the spots are taken in front of the hotel at the 1/2 hour parking area nearest the check in and were for our entire three night stay. Instead you need to park in the garage below the building and try and figure out the maze into the hotel with no signage and poor lighting. (Don't even try to use the Wilson parking App, it doesn't work) The rooms face the Lake and Capital, which is excellent, but the windows are of poor design so the expressway below is very loud in your room. The lighting in the room is very dim, once you figure out what the unlabeled switches do, and you will need to use a flashlight for a number of the parts of the room. The area around the hotel has a limited number of restaurant options and the walk into town is a mile, the Capital is 2.5 mile walk. Public transport is not nearby.

Good location, clean and new property. However, no air conditioning made it very uncomfortable. Also, when I booked there was no mention of $35 a day parking so I end up parking $70 for two nights which made is very costly.

This was the second time i have stayed here. Both times someone from house keeping has let themselves into my room shortly after check in. My first room was great, unfortunately i booked an apartment for the second stay and it was quite cramped, i also didn’t have any glasses, coffee/t, utensils. There was also a terrible smell coming from the drains. Bar staff were friendly however their pos system could use an upgrade, to order one drink took a long time as they needed to press 100 buttons just to get the sale through.

Ain’t a value for money experience. Lake facing apartment is directly facing the busy motorway which is extremely noisy. Dishwasher door is way too loose that swing downwards with full force that causes bruises to my legs. As the room is non aircon, it’s definitely way too hot for summer stay.

Rooms

Design forward apartments deliver striking lake and city views and some comfortable spaces, but several lack air conditioning and can feel hot or stuffy. Noise from the nearby motorway affects some lake facing rooms, and a few mention cramped layouts, dim lighting, small balconies, or uncomfortable furnishings.

Overall, quite a nice and modern hotel. Friendly staff. Good food. However, we stayed in the apartments and there is NO AIR-CONDITIONING! The room was constantly hot and stuffy even in the middle of winter. We were told to open doors and windows to cool the room, which at this price point is outrageous. Very disappointing.
