I will start with, I have been staying here for 15 years and have very real expectations of what is and isn't normal. This visit was so far below par that we will seriously consider using another property in the future. COMPLETELY UNDISCLOSED - they are undergoing MAJOR renovations. LaFontaine is the only dining area open (which was closed on the day we arrived for a private event - you read that correctly). So, the hotel was utilizing the Club Room for all other guests. Club Room with Club Room prices - which were astronomical. You could also eat on the pool deck. Which we chose to one night, and the food took 90-minutes to arrive and everything was so cold, rendering most of it inedible. While there is never REALLY air conditioning in the south tower, there definitely was not even air pretending to blow through the vents. My room stayed so hot (over 30 C) that my solid toiletries melted. I am very accustomed to the rooms being warm and have always asked for, and received, a floor fan in my room - this has been (and was) requested at the time the room was reserved (months in advance). This time, there was no fan in any of the 4 rooms we reserved. The only male in the group was the only person to receive a fan on the 1st day (8 hours later). I received a fan 30-hours after check-in. No one else was given a fan. We all made many requests. Management did a poor job navigating issues and would not speak with us.

The hotel is under construction and should be closed.

Booked bed & breakfast for my mum and niece. Both were extremely happy with the service they received. It was my mum’s birthday and staff sang happy birthday for my mum & gave her a slice of birthday cake 😊

Good service

It was difficult to regulate the temperature in the room. It got cool at night. They brought a room heater that did nothing. Had to use an extra blanket

It’s overrated. I expected better for the price

No microwave, music noise coming from the park in early morning
