The hotel exceeded my expectations with its tastefully decorated rooms featuring comfortable beds, large windows, and well-equipped bathrooms, complete with a Dyson hair dryer and L'Occitane bath products. The early room readiness was a delightful surprise, and the immaculate space with ample storage and premium toiletries made relaxation effortless. However, the pricing could be a bit high for some travelers but definitely worth it for the quality offered.

My stay at the hotel was absolutely wonderful! The rooms were spacious and beautifully appointed, complete with a lovely welcome package of apples, chocolates, and a refreshing bottle of water. The view of the Parliament buildings from my corner suite was breathtaking, and the huge bed with plush pillows ensured a restful night's sleep. The only tiny downside was that the room was advertised as a 'large double,' but it still felt more like a fantastic experience overall.

The dining experience was decent, but not extraordinary. The food was satisfactory, and although the service was good, it felt a bit slow. The à la carte menu was quite pricey, and while the selection was decent, it didn't quite meet my high expectations.
