Excelente estadía.
Pros:

El simple hecho de estar hospedado en uno de los hoteles más legendarios de Vancouver hace de tu estadía una extraordinaria experiencia. Habitaciones remodeladas conservando ese estilo único y elegante a la fecha, el servicio por los empleados es excelente, las camas súper cómodas, excelente ubicación. Si tienes la oportunidad de hospedarte en este hotel te la recomiendo sin duda alguna.

Tímalaus glæsileiki í hjarta Vancouver
Pros:

Hótelið sjálft er glæsilegt og það var áhugavert að geta skoðað sögu þess á hótelinu sjálfu. Þjónustan og starfsfólkið framúrskarandi. Þrátt fyrir stórt hótel þá var rólegt og huggulegt í morgunmatnum og góður andi. Staðsetning hótelsins gæti ekki verið betri. Hlakka til að koma aftur.

It was a perfect stay for my wife’s 55th birthday. Everything was amazing!
Pros:

The property was a very high class centrally located building. It had fine architecture with a long history of hosting important people, including the Royal Family. The staff were very attentive, well dressed and friendly. They had a large indoor pool and hot tub with a gym on the same floor.

Cons:

Nothing. We loved the property, for its location to everything and its cleanliness and high class feeling.

Pros:

Beautiful facility. Great location.

Cons:

The room was too hot (24.5C) even though the thermostat was set to 17C. Turning on the fan only dropped it to 23C by the time I checked out the next day.
