The hotel is physically located in the historical district, easy walking distance to key tourist hot spots. Issues with hotel room, each day was an adventure to get in the room, sometimes 2 or 3 visits was needed to get in my room, every time I took a shower, the fire alarm was being activated, loose hinge screws on primary room closet door, issue with toilet flushing water level, it needed me to add 2-3 liters of water in order not to get the sewer smell in the bathroom.

Our room was not prepared properly. Took multiple calls to fix issues. The two-room suite did not have coffee maker not mini fridge. WiFi signal was not reachable in the room we have stayed.

I had called tthe hotel to confirm my 8 day reservation in the Presidential Suite 2 days prior, and the hotel front desk confirmed it. Also told them that my flight did not arrive until 8: 40 p.m. and confirmed a late check in. On arrival at the hotel, I was told the Suite was occupied, and they gave me a lame excuse that someone else had booked it through Expedia two days after I did, and had arrived earlier. Truth is they re-sold it for more money and gave me a smaller room no refund.

would have given a better rating, but the covid test that I scheduled ahead of time was somehow lost in the shuffle, as well as my pre-booked ride to the airport. Other than that, I would stay again. Great location and the Belford Suite was perfect for us!

It took over an hour to check in because they had no record of my reservation from expedia. After talking directly with expedia they were able to check me in and gave me a room upgrade. The room itself was very clean and inviting.

La suite junior nous a bien plu!
Emplacement idéal. Parking gratuit voiturier super efficace pour les jeu de taquin. Appartement avec 2 chambres idéal en famille. Très calme malgré l emplacement. Juste un problème à l accueil hôtel. Com n aurait selon la réceptionniste pas communiquer qu on était 3. Il a fallu montrer la preuve. Cela crée un doute sur le sérieux de l établissement où celui d’hôtel. Com. Dommage .

The hotel is located in the heart of the city where everything is at your door. The room was extremely big with a king bed. It was very clean and comfortable. The only thing that was not was the shower head. The water pressure was strong but the shower head was terrible and with the pressure, the water pinched my skin. Not comfortable. Besides that, everything was great!
