Absolute disaster. Do not stay here.
Pros:

There is nothing to like about this property. It does not deserve to be called a hotel.

Cons:

Everything went wrong from the start. Parking in the basement is overcrowded. We booked the most expensive Sanctum Suite, only to find it was on the second floor looking into a blank wall. The website misrepresents the rooms, it makes you believe there will be expansive Lake views but it is a concrete jungle. In fact the "hotel" only occupies 2 floors of a 15 floor apartment building. The decor is shoddy and depressing, the lighting is poor, the corridors are dingy, the furniture is terrible. Staff did not know much about the facilities.

Cons:

Holding bar tables for hours is a vibe killer. There is nothing more disappointing than walking into a busy bar only to see the best seats empty with "reserved" signs on them for two hours. Bar seating should definitely be first-come, first-served!

Friendly staff.
Small but nice gym.
Hotel restaurant good quality.

Cons:

Parking is separate company. With foreign phone not possible pay more than 24h a time, so have to go back each day to pay.
