I asked and paid for a King size bed and a nicer room. I got ripped of entirely with a queen bed and the smallest room I have ever stayed in. There was a wedding and it was extremely noisy and the only accommodation the hotel was willing to give was a bottle of wine. When I said we don’t drink they said sorry there’s nothing we can do….unbelievable.

Clean room, excellent staff communication. I would only suggest some focussed reading lamps installed above the beds as the ones in the room were quite dim. A lovely hotel to stay in!

It’s downtown Kitchener. Nice place despite its location. Not much of diverse food to choose from in the area- mostly just Indian.

I stayed here for the first time last night and although the hotel is beautiful, my room was freezing and the thermostat didn't work. I called the front desk and they said the thermostat is controlled by them and they turned the heat up but it was still cold. They ended up bringing a portable heater which helped. I've never stayed at a hotel where the thermostat was controlled by the front desk.
