I have stayed at this property many times. One of the main reasons is the food. They have a great French restaurant (Le Beaujolais), which can also be ordered in their first floor bar. Overall a good hotel for the price. The location is good for access to shopping and the WTC Mall.

Customer service is good. They don’t have own parking. You use public parking, which is little uncomfortable. Breakfast buffet is fair. I rate 3 star hotel.

The hotel needs serious attention. The location is convenient with late night dining options and local shopping but the room we were in had a tv that made a humming noise when it was on, the shower stopper was broken so we had to remove it, the AC did not work well and made a loud clicking noise, and there was a big dead bug that the cleaning crew missed several times during our 4 night stay. The room itself smelled like it needed air although we requested non smoking. We asked to be moved but there were no other rooms available so we suffered through it. The friendliness of the staff and the dining and nightlife options were the only redeeming factor. The staff even helped with wrapping our head scarves when we were leaving to tour the mosque.

The bathroom doesn’t have any hair dryer. Staff were nice. Bar was okay. Room condition was pretty bad. Bathroom in bad condition. For a couple it was only one towel. No toothbrush and toothpaste. Pool was super dirty and not cleaned.

The basic room was small but ok for 2 people. It was clean, the bathroom was dated but otherwise ok as well. There can be noise at times from neighbouring rooms when the people were loud but it was not bad. Bring ear plugs if your a light sleeper. The bed was a bit hard and the aircon and fan worked but not really the thermostat. It was just a matter of turning on and off the aircon if you needed it. The included breakfast its good value. Its a plentiful buffet catering for the breakfast tastes of many nationalities. The reception staff were friendly and helpful.

L hôtel a voulu me donner une chambre fumeur alors que j’avais réservé une chambre non fumeur. Si vous ne mettez pas la ventilation à fond l’odeur de cigarette vient des autres chambres. Chasse d’eau cassée et quasi aucune pression dans la douche
