Ice is a menu item? Booked this hotel for my birthday and it was ruined. They “upgraded” me to the fourth floor… where my bedroom was easily seen from the ground. And there’s no view, the neighborhood is not exactly a great view. The overhead shower massively leaked which drowned my entire bathroom. I complained and got switched to a better room. Though the bathroom always smelled of pee. Other amenities were ok. Cannot complain about staff, they were accommodating in a situation that (seemed) wasn’t their fault. Can’t get over Ice being a menu item though… Would not recommend and would not stay here again.

Great location near train and walkable to DDP with easy pick up and drop off with uber. I would definitely stay here again. We got the delux suite with 560 sq ft space in the 1 bedroom and living area. The room had so many cabinets which are great for storage. It felt like a modern NYC apartment complete with a fridge, stove, microwave, filtered water machine and washing machine. Check in is on the 20th floor and I wish I visited the pool and gym, but there was so much to do each day that we rarely spent much time wandering the hotel.

Only thing I’ll say is that you can’t control the room temperature by yourself, it’s central…. So It’s hot in the day time and cold at night.
