Comments: They only have 10 Suites here out of 400 or do rooms and we have been upgraded on all but one of our 5 stays. Truly some of the most pleasant FD agents at any hotel we have visited.

Comments: Very efficient check-in and unsolicited upgrade to a King Studio Suite. Hotel looks like it has had a recent partial renovation. New carpet, new couch in the sitting area, newer refrigerator, other furniture and bathroom fixtures look older. Overall very nice and much better than the Sheraton Imperial which is a very tired property.

Comments: Recently rebranded from Radisson. Not bad but needs renovation, although reportedly scheduled this summer. Huge room. Great location. Great price at present for a solid, if uninspiring hotel. Looking forward to renos. Currently >$100 less/ night than nearby Sheraton and Delta Bessborough so worth considering.
