The hotel is conveniently located near Union Station, making it excellent for the event we attended. The rooms are spacious, comfy, and clean, offering free Wi-Fi. The service was helpful and friendly, though at times it felt like they catered more to specific tastes rather than treating guests as such. The dining was above average for this grade of hotel, especially the pastries, but the hotel could benefit from expanding breakfast options. The location is bustling with bars and restaurants, close to major attractions like the Hockey Hall of Fame and St Lawrence Market.
