The property location perfect. The room itself was fine for our needs of a place to sleep for one night. There was really no room to set up our suitcase for easy access for a longer stat area to hang dresses was quite compromised. There was no hair conditioner to accompany shampoo. We requested some and were given lotion. No pen or paper available. Carpet at foot of bed quite wet we let staff know and they offered to try and fix it or move us. We chose stay. Bar soap for shower useless. Place was very clean and staff wonderful.

Rooms were nice. Pool was cold and often very wet around the pool which was hazardous. Hot tub was nice though. Moxies was very good. Check in was easy and staff was very friendly. Parkade was a mess, loud with construction, rebar and holes everywhere. Men with full masks doing construction- awful chemical smell. Parking is $25 a day which is a bit steep for guests IMO.

This hotel is so close to all great entertainment options in the city which is why we chose it. In order to get an early check in, there was a fee. Same if a late check out was requested. We were able to drop our bags and go explore the city, that was helpful. The room had two queen beds which was what we requested and the room also had massive beautiful windows that wrapped around the room. This gave great city views. However the cushion on one of the chairs shifted and it was clear that no one had vacuumed or cleaned under it in quite some time. There were also crumbs and other indications of little cleaning on the floor and under the desk opening, shelves, and under the headboards of the bed. The elevators were challenging as by the time they got to our floor (9th) they were always full. We ended up taking the stairs down after three full elevators passed us. Walking is fine, just would have been good to know the hotel only has those two small elevators. Considering the cost of one night in this hotel, I did expect the room to be tidier. The front desk staff were great, the restaurant was great and the staff were helpful in making sure we got to our event in plenty of time. I would stay here again and ensure I requested the room definitely be checked for cleanliness more thoroughly.

The Sandman met our needs; clean with efficient staff and a very cozy bed. We did feel though that as the hotel was very busy, there should have been a concierge desk to help the many guests.

Liked everything. The only complaint that I have would be; 1- the air conditioning is in an weird place. you have a desk right infront of it blocking almost half of the unit making it harder for the room to become cooler faster. 2- you should really think about having soap dispensers in the showers. those tinny bottles are pointless and not environmentally good. i need like 3 bottles of shampoo just to do my hair once becasue its long.

Disappointed

The room was very small. Did not clean our room or give us clean towels after the first day of our two night stay. Told us we had to put a door hanger to have that service. Hardly had any room for our luggage in room

Great property and friendly staff! The only thing I would have changed was if they would have given us a heads up about construction to get to the parking garage. Other than that would highly recommend and will be back!
