This is one of the most luxurious stays in Canada. While it is reported that the property is now in compliance with elite breakfast benefit, it is just a bare minimum continental breakfast. The main highlights of the property was the complimentary house car service and wellness facilities. Here are my pros, cons:

Pros:

NUA was denied for a suite upgrade. Had booked a Standard King and upgraded to Signature King with a bath tub.
Requested 4pm check-out and was honoured without any pushback
Great king sized mattress, semi firm mattress, firm pillows, comfortable clean sheets, and duvet was seasonally appropriate.
Shower amenities are Aesop. Housekeeping was kind enough to offer complimentary Aesop body lotion and mouth wash.
Wellness centre includes a salt room (reservation required for 20 minute intervals), eucalyptus steam room, infrared sauna, pool, and cold plunge.
Great selection of water selection in the spa/gym/pool: lemon water, chlorophyll water, cucumber water, ice water. Complimentary grapefruit infused cold towel.
Housekeeping was detailed oriented. They provided complimentary amenities like a lavender room spray, plus toy, and cable ties. They would come around during turn down service for chocolates (only the first night) and bottled water.
Complimentary house car: Operated by a Lincoln SUV on a first come first serve basis. Available from 8am to 4pm during the day and 5:40pm to 9:30pm (from Sun-Thurs) and 10:30pm (Fri-Sat) in the evenings. It can be utilized for pick up or drop off anywhere within a 2KM radius. Call front desk to book. We waited an average of 3-6 minutes for pick up.
The BKS speakeasy is open Friday and Saturday from 5:30pm. It is only available to guests staying at the hotel. Located on the 3rd floor in a secret entrance near the fire exit. Very comfortable seating with views of the harbour. Lots of options for non-alcoholic drinks and limited food selection. Cocktails range from $17-$25 each and have an automatic 20% gratuity.

Cons:

Rain fall shower water pressure was not great. The wand, however, had decent water pressure. Bath tub had no issues with filling nor draining.
The elite breakfast is limited. Do not expect any eggs/ meat protein. It includes a choice of a plain croissant or pain au chocolat, jam, butter, berry yogurt parfait, and coffees (lattes, cappuccinos, espresso etc. /tea). There is no extra charge if you prefer to have this delivered to the room rather than at the Drift restaurant. It takes about 30 minutes for room service delivery.
The Chromecast TV in the room could not to be paired with any of my devices despite troubleshooting.

Overall, I would not hesitate to come back.
