Our 5-star experience is highly recommended. I've stayed in a lot of hotels and this one took the cake. One reason: The staff weren't snotty to those of us obviously not used to five star accommodations. And complete preparedness, right down to the pack'n'play set up in the room and the extra set of towels.
Another reason: the view. And location. Right next to the Houses of Parliament and across from the Harbor. And a lovely view of The Empress Hotel.
But probably the best reason was the pool. Indoor with natural light pouring in from lofty solar panels, ozonated, and with a 2' foot wading pool for the kids, we didn't get enough time here. I enjoyed the hot tub, sauna, and steam room while Mike managed the kids. Everleigh declared herself a water baby and enjoyed her time in the pool. Ben was delighted that there was a kids' pool and he could control where the water went.
Mike and I love hotels better when our children aren't in the same room. Sigh. Ben told me the first night that he needed to sleep "with an adult." This was in response to attempting to put him down next to Kyri. He followed it up with true Ben style: "And Mom, you are so soft and cuddly." Meanwhile Kyri was crying "I need my daddy." So it was settled then. Mostly. Mike and I bounced back and forth between beds both nights.
But we still loved the hotel. Sigh.
