Lack of staff really showed. Valet parked my car the first day. Low floor, nightclub music really made an impact. And breakfast room service order was never collecting. Disappointing overall, but on check out the staff did try to resolve which was nice.

The location of the hotel was outstanding. I understand itโ€™s an old building but we were in a room with water damage. We informed the front desk and they just sent maintenance up to take a look. We were told that they would fix it after we had left. The spa and pool were located on the roof with a great view! The spa turned off every 3 mins. But the breakfast was very good.

Great location with easy walk to shops, the oprah house and ferries. Staff is poliete and friendly. The hotel itself is a little tired with stains on the carpets, bedding and ceiling. Bathrooms had mold, and grout stauns along with dripping faucets.

They never gave me the credit or the upgrade. Also, the room was very old and rundown. Some of the front desk staff looked annoyed that we were there rather than welcoming. That being said, the location is amazing and the view from the roof was pretty great too.

The hotel was lovely and a great location in The Rocks. The shower could have had a bit more water pressure but otherwise the room and bed were comfortable.
