Good city hotel in perfect location *
Enlarge letters A A Downsize letters A AFrom the outside the hotel is not so nice. It is a large hotel, the was already a bit old. In the immediate vicinity there are some more hotels, but similar unappealing look from the outside. As soon as you walk into the hotel entrance is on a nice indoor fountain and slight left at the front desk check in. This entrance makes a very nice and freshly renovated impression. The hotel has many rooms located on with 10 floors (sorry, I have already forgotten unfortunately) spread. The rooms are a bit dated, you mainly at the technology and the style. Though it's all functional and otherwise in good condition. The hotel offers complimentary Internet access, a fitness room, a pool, two free computers (buisness center), and underground parking garage. Parking can be free of depend on specific rates. The guest structure in March was strong pensioners or From families with small children. There were also mostly English speaking guests.
Location
The hotel is in a great central location, close to the Inner Harbor. You can walk most sights, especially a rewarding around the marina is highly recommended. The tourist information center is not far away. There are also numerous souvenir shops and cafes and restaurants. Only a supermarket could be found in the surrounding area. This, you have to go a little further afield walk or drive.
The staff at check in was very nice, but not quite as effusive accomodating as we experienced than otherwise, therefore there are a bit deductions. The communication worked perfectly. The room cleaning was as expected, but also with nothing special. The hotel offered still additional also boasts (e.g. B. Dogs allowed), which extra cost, and what we didn't use.
Gastronomy Unused
Sport & Entertainment
We especially enjoyed the complimentary Internet access. This went first not really good, but after 1-2 days much better. We do not know why this is. The pool and gym were we looked at, but there were quite a lot of different weight and fitness machines, a good impression. There is a restaurant in the hotel. The looks very nice, but we didn't use it either as the prices were very high own homes ...
Room
We had "only" a standard room, so I rave descriptions from some of the other reviews do not understand. The room was okay, but dated. We also had a balcony with a partly quite nice view. On the balcony there but no furniture, so if you just walked away is and the rest of the room. The TV had some Altersschwächen such as. It was just right off was not over the remote control. Moreover, there were also alarm clock and hair dryer were a bit old. The bathroom was ok and spotlessly clean. There was a safe.
Tips and recommendations
Better not to eat breakfast diagonally across the street from the tourist office (Sat's Deli) go a little ways to walk there, you better and more for your money! In Chinatown you can really good and cheap food, just try once, the communication worked very well. Travel time: march is low and therefore not everything was offered. I think it is better 1-2 months later. The free tour of the parliament of BC is ok, but nothing special. If you've ever been a guided tour has seen in Ottawa, also disappointed (it was just "only" a provincial).
