i loved the location right on the waterfront. it was so close to the cn tower and the rogers centre. the staff was attentive and ensured my needs were met. the amsterdam brewery next door was a great spot for a quick visit! the harbour view from the room was very nice.

i found the tv system a bit confusing to navigate. it took some time to figure out the channels and settings. this was a minor inconvenience, but it would be nice if it was more user-friendly.
