While the hotel's location near the Grand River is excellent, my recent stay fell short of expectations due to a lack of room cleaning and inconsistent service levels. The amenities were great, but I was caught off guard by the need to manage my own cleaning arrangements despite the premium pricing. Overall, the experience was a mix of beautiful surroundings and frustrating inconveniences.
