The Restoration
Loved the breakfast basket. Loved the shuttle service. The wine and cheese happy hour was quite sad. Very little offerings and tray mostly empty each time we went.

The Nickel Hotel
Well-appointed room! Spacious layout with high quality finishes. The staff went above and beyond showing the highest level of hospitality. Cannot recommend The Nickel enough.

Hotel Richemont
The hotel itself was in a perfect location to King St and the room was nice, but there was a strong smell of sewage coming from shower area that was disgusting. We told the staff in first day and they said they would look into it… got back from dinner and it was still there. Told staff again next ...
