What was good and what was bad?

Good
+Smooth check-in/check-out, very pleasant staff throughout the property
+Platinum recognition; excellent buffet breakfast with attractive fruit layout, continental and hot items
+Clean rooms and property
+Super comfortable beds/pillows, always sleep great here
+Oversized bathroom, good shower pressure, hot water in seconds
+Large tilting LCD TV with excellent channel selection, many in HD (also have Japanese NHK and a Korean channel, rare for North America)
+Some rooms have a new fridge and microwave
+Reasonable room service prices, Bistro 100 has a diverse menu and very tasty

+Free parking (vs $10-15 at airport hotels 5km away)


Bad
-For dinner, Main Bistro 100 restaurant only open Mon-Wed; dinner only offered in small Bistro lounge from Thu-Sun (rather obvious that the hotel largely caters to weekday business clientele)
-V-shaped shower a bit uncomfortable to stand in
