Old hotel, small rooms, great location
This is a large old hotel. Public areas are nice enough, one part was undergoing rennovations when we were there. Rooms are basic and small--decor is bland and some refurbishment is necessary, but it is clean and beds are comfy. Bathroom is very small and needs to be redone--some cracked and broken tiles, but clean. This is just a three star hotel--nothing more and okay for a night or two but do not expect luxury. Some of the staff are not great---not much of a welcome on check in and one of the concierges was very aloof and quite useless. When asked about a Thai art show my friend wanted to go to, he didn't find it ( I did, in a few seconds on the internet). When we asked about restaurants, no one bothered to book a reservation for us and we walked around for an hour trying to get in and ended up back at the hotel pub, which by the way, was very good. The other hotel restaurants were not very busy, which probably speaks for itself since others in the area were packed. Location is excellent, walking distance to shopping, restaurants, the Commons etc. 
Also, very annoying, there is a charge for internet in the room--I think $12/24hrs and in the business centre it is 50 cents a minute!!!! I thought it would be free. No WI-FI in the hotel at all.
We paid about $200 for the room, so value was not there in my view. It was busy with a major trade show and another convention in town.
