Everything went well with our stay. We took advantage of the morning grab-and-go options at Morningbird. Room with corner view of the city was nice. The hotel was not as central as others to restaurants and, while we walked to go out in the evening, we took Ubers back to the hotel later at night. This was something we knew as we were looking to be walking distance to Waterloo Park for the busses on F1 weekend. This was a superb location for that. We would recommend and we would come back.

Fun hotel, love the pool area. Caesar at concierge was amazing. Good food options, reasonably priced. Front desk staff was not friendly or helpful. Terrace and swim club bars supposed to both be open at 11. Neither have staff, bar tender ignored me 3-4 times before finally acknowledging I was waiting. ?short staffed vs not friendly.

Heard noise from the freeway all night. Took hours to get housekeeping to bring more hangers. Room was 55 *, engineer never came to look at temperature control. Room was dirty in corners, no place to put clothes. Checked out after one night. Don’t recommend.
