The room was good but very expensive. The biggest ripoff was the Ewan restaurant buffet. We booked for a la carte but at dinner they suddenly said buffet only. Stupid they didn't tell us the price but also we didn't ask. However $100 cad per person for a crappy mid buffet. Food was avg but not worth ...

Great location with a friendly helpful staff. This hotel is an experience with lots of Arabian flavor and charm. The rooms are clean enough and everything worked. Hot water could take awhile for showers but eventually warmed up. We would stay here again.
