Wrote some words on the Time in the Dream thread before Zorak pointed me to this thread. Wanted to leave brief comments.

​​​​I was upgraded to a suite which was a real/proper suite, with a separate living room and bedroom with a door in between. The suite was adequate, seemingly like a HP in terms of quality of renovation. The coloring was dull and bland.
​​​​
There was no coffee or tea in the room which was disappointing - this category of hotel should have a Nespresso machine (Hyatt Centric has an excellent coffee pod machine from Green Mountain). I hated the shower where there was just half a door. The way the overhead shower was positioned combined with the lack of a full door caused water to spread across the whole bathroom. The toiletries were awful. Shower gel was thin and felt cheap.

Good location if you want to be near TQ. It has a small gym on property which i didn't use but gives passes to a full gym , an excellent one, called Templ about 5-10 minutes away. Intake exercise seriously so liked having a full gym. Good marks for this.
Breakfast was subpar compared to the Dream and Centric where I stayed this week as well. At those two properties, Globalists could order anything off the menu. At Time, one one coffee (wouldn't give me refills) and no substitutions, ie I don't eat potatoes but wanted berries. The director of operations called me later when I told the front desk on check out that the breakfast was ok but not as good as Dream and Centric. Good on him for that.

Overall, this was a bland, ok stay. Nothing terrible but nothing fun or great. Breakfast was disappointing - can't even get my berries! I would not go out of my way to stay here. If it were $100usd a night cheaper than competitor properties Id stay but there are better choices.

Oh also... Internet was atrocious. I usually don't complain about slow access speeds but this was so bad I switched to data. Couldn't even watch TikTok at all. Extremely slow and patchy.
