I was expecting better
Pros:

There were some positive aspects to the stay. The reception staff were welcoming, friendly, and helpful, and the location is excellent right in the city centre and close to public transportation.

Cons:

The bathroom exhaust fan did not work, which meant having to deal with unpleasant smells and excessive humidity.

The toilet seat was also extremely small, almost child-sized, and very uncomfortable for adults.

The underground parking requires mandatory valet service, which costs an additional CAD 21 per night, plus tips. I also felt uncomfortable with the expectation of tipping every time the vehicle was brought out by the morning-shift valet driver.

Some rooms do not have a refrigerator. I was initially assigned one of these rooms and had to request a room change because I needed a fridge.

A frustrating incident happened 11 pm on my last night. My room key cards suddenly stopped working. I had to go to reception twice to have them replaced. My family had to wait in the corridor for approximately 20 minutes after a long 3-hour road trip, until I finally received a working key.

Finally, the beds made loud squeaking noises with every movement, which was disruptive and made it difficult to sleep comfortably.

Pros:

The check-in was amazing, staff was very helpful. But I don't know if we were supposed to give a tip to the valet, because he kept saying thank you, and looking at us weirdly, like he was waiting for something. Would be nice to notify it for the tourist if we have to give one. But otherwise amazing stay thank you.

Enjoyable, convenient.
Pros:

Excellent staff - friendly and always helpful.

Cons:

How to access to the underground parking garage could have been made much clearer on website as it's very easy to miss it in busy, one-way traffic. Getting in and out of the parking garage was also difficult, even in a mid-sized SUV.
