This was a mixed bag. The hotel is well-placed for access to the city. But there were many pain points. The North tower has two elevators ... slow and small. You can wait 10 minutes or more behind a line to get access to enter the elevator. Our room did not have central air - the air conditioning unit was noisy and our city view was of the parking lot. The shower had poor water volume and the shower fixtures, while new, were confusing to operate.

I enjoyed the room and the area of this hotel. The only thing I didn't like was that they only had 2 elevators. 1 of them stopped working during the day. 12 floors with only 1 elevator was not fun. They eventually fixed it. Waited 20 minutes, 4 separate times. Took 1 star off for the elevator wait times.

I'm in the process of contacting Expedia to ask for a refund. Expedia itinerary: 73222725558858 The room you gave me 614 was right beside an elevator, and that's all I heard most of the night. I got very little sleep and had to travel the next morning. My room did not have a working air conditioner but you provided me a standing fan, not the same result for putting me in sleep mode. I asked for a wake up, Cindy wrote it down...never got it. I had a sleepless night, total waste of $500, made it to my bus reservation for Chilliwack with five minutes remaining. Thank god for late boarding. I stayed here after a very great stay August 18 and 19. This one was an adventure through hell. Not impressed, I want my money back!!

Early check-in was a huge bonus when we arrived. Unfortunately they put us right above a noisy restaurant that blasted music early and the maid service was never completed in the morning when we requested it.

Great and smooth check in. Allowed an earlier check in. Great and smooth check out. Safe underground parking. Very complicated to park. Parkade really needs some work. Huge holes in the floor. Very humid needs ventilation. Hard to navigate. Elevators. Very slow elevators. Very small and long wait times. Hotel is very very busy. Be patient. Wouldn’t say it was worth the 550$. Maybe 380-450? But it was convenient.
