I really appreciated the full sized fridge. If you decide to eat it, it comes with a lovely kitchenette with a sink, microwave and large fridge. The beds were super comfortable. Really great location. Our only issue was that the underground parking lot, which was full. We stayed in an above lot from a private parkade, and they said that they would compensate, but they didn't for the full days that we were there...because they claimed there was parking in their underground area, but we couldn't find it. It wasn't like we checked every hour, we were out exploring but my husband checked when we first got up, before we left to go explore for the day, right before supper and in the evening. I dislike the pettiness that happened, when really, it shouldn't have had a big deal to compensate for the couple of days. Staff was friendly. Complementary breakfast was good. I would stay here again

The only downsides were the pillows and not a lot of stuff to do nearby. The pillows were flat so I ordered two extras but even with 4 pillows I'm still lying on a bed of marshmallows. The area is also close to government buildings but not walkable to restaurant and shops so you need a car to get around. I didn't check out the food at the restaurant or the pool so can't comment on that.

I went to a Gala Dinner at the Infinity Convention Centre recently. While the place was modern and…read moreclean looking, and the service was very good, the food fell short of my expectations. The function occupied Salon B&C, which I would say would fit about 400 people. The chandeliers were beautiful and there was a pretty water structure in the lobby that served as a nice backdrop for photos. We had a four course meal. The first course was a roasted tomato bisque. I ate one spoonful and gave the rest to my husband (and he ate it not because he thought it was delicious, but because he was incredibly hungry (as was I, but my actions were still as such)). I found the soup incredibly watery and the texture was not smooth. It tasted to me like watered down pasta sauce. Fortunately, the food got better from there. The second course was a salad which consisted of mixed greens wrapped in cucumber slices, with olives, grape tomatoes, mini bocconcini cheese balls, and croutons. The presentation was interesting with the salad wrapped in the cucumber. I still don't know how they kept it together because there was no toothpick. The taste was satisfactory. The dressing was a little too oily with not enough flavour in my opinion. However, the vegetables were fresh. The main course was a Tandoori chicken breast with basmati rice and roasted vegetables, with raita on top. I found the rice on the dry side, and the vegetables (zucchini, squash, and sweet potato) not particularly flavourful. The chicken had a mild tandoori taste to it, and I appreciated that it was de-boned, save for the wing drumette. The chicken was moist, so at least it wasn't dry. The dessert was my favourite course. It was a chocolate hazelnut mousse with meringue and half a strawberry. The mousse was rich and creamy and the meringue was fluffy and delicious. The servers were all very good and competent. This convention centre is by the airport and surrounded by many hotels. I think the location is convenient for events where attendees may be flying in and staying near the airport. There is free parking in their private parking lot.

The lighting and sound system they have in their halls is absolutely amazing and makes the night that much more enjoyable. The food at the venue was pretty good. We were served a salad appetizer with fresh rolls, followed by a steak with potatoes and vegetables. Lastly for dessert was a cheesecake. Overall the food tasted good and had good portions. The only downside to the night was that a wedding beside ours were not following the rules for outside equipment and when loud music could be played, which put a huge damper on the speeches as no one could hear them.

I found myself gravitating toward the lobby when I was there because it was interesting and captivating but the room was spartan and small. My window looked out onto some ducting and allowed very limited natural light in the space. The rest of the room was functional and practical but not stunning or noteworthy. Like others noted the hotel has no parking and the nearest is a parking garage that I could only access by entering on an adjacent street. It was not entirely convenient. Practical and efficient if you want some place to stay and the little bar is a nice touch.

This location does not have pool amenities but the basic functional uses you need, room, stairs, elevator, ice machine, pop machine (its limited and out of stock), parking..beds and room are comfortable. Shower could use better cleaning. During the pandemic, their hot breakfast serve was no longer available. Typical breakfast included eggs, boiled eggs, meat , fruits, waffles, baked goods hot coffee and juices. The breakfast generally covered dietary restrictions, like diabetic friendly, only whole wheat, gluten free. Now during the pandemic, all we got was a brown bag containing orange juice, a small gala apple, iogo yogurt, jimmy dean breakfast sandwich or Quaker oatmeal bowl and a spoon. The breakfast did not accomodate for gluten free, the premade breakfast sandwich was not customizable (like no processed cheese, no bacon), no whole wheat option, no hot coffee, no option for apple juice, no option for banana...oh yes and for hot coffee we are told to use our room coffee....so yes the hot coffee, hot water amenities that are always open are no longer available. If you're coming to visit, note the room prices are not adjusted for the lack of amenities, you are paying same as precovid. One thing to note, there is a 100$ credit promo when you book two nights. There are plexiglas barriers but no enforcement on non mask wearers!!!
