I was confirmed and checking in and was told upon check in TJ’s they have no room for me and had to rebook me elsewhere, This is totally unacceptable and an absolute total inconvenience. Furthermore, I was booked several blocks away n an older hotel an away from friends who are booked at the metcalfe. I expect a full refund for this bad bad experience -

Room is okay, spacious than expected, clean, and hotel staff are super friendly and helpful. However the restaurant staff not so attentive, we've waited some time to be seated while two staff just busy talking to each other, the staff who leads us didn't smile or say anything for the wait. But our server is sweet, food is just okay, overall too much savoury than flavor. I would say it's decent and convenient for hotel stayers but nothing special.

My husband and I visited for a short 4-day holiday. Cannot beat the location. The staff was super attentive. The attendant covering the valet service really went above and beyond. The dining room's Breakfast Américain was amazing. Will be staying again. Would definitely recommend.
