I've stayed in some rooms in the Chateau Laurier a couple of times this year that had peeling paint and a horrible bathroom. I think the tap set I have on my laundry sink at home is nicer than what I've found there. However, I stay there every time I'm in town because I love the location and the charm of the place, and many of the public spaces in the building are nice. I just find it hit and miss with the guest rooms--sometimes I get a good one, but lately, not so much--it might just be my bad luck or bad timing.
