$250 cash deposit required because of debit card My company paid for 3 nights in advance and when I showed up, I was asked for $250 deposit (why?, I asked - you cant even bill anything to your room?). I only had my debit card as the room was prepaid, and then I was told they could not bill the debit card for the deposit. So they sent me out on the streets at 12:30 am to get $250 cash out of an ATM machine. This was immediate "3 strikes and you're out for me". I did stay here for my purchased three days but won't return. It's too bad this ruined it for me - even though the room is as small as a dog kennel, the shoddy workmanship on the floors, and there is no real TV ("Smart TV" means "no TV except what you can find to stream on our slow 802.11g wifi network being shared by 20 people"), I was prepared to say the Manager was super-nice, and my meeting was at TSK, and you couldn't find a closer location (though the Chelsea is one block further and has no such debit card nonsense). But the cash deposit thing forever poisoned me on the place.If you do stay here, try the bubble-tea place across the street - they have really good Korean food cheap.

0 out of 5 The pictures they advertise must be stock photos because it does NOT look like the pictures. Also there is no pool, despite the website and trip sites saying it has one. The restaurant staff member looked annoyed that we were in there. And the shower smelled like smoke when we turned it on, and made the whole room smell like smoke.

1 cos we are not happy very expensive place not worth it and we are not satisfied. We regret to inform you that we are dissatisfied with our recent experience at your establishment. My rock of lamp was not cook properly and my food have men’s hair small tiny. Our bill was 1500cad 200++ tip for the snobby and not nice waiter. We are making a jokes if we can have free shots but he just refused. After taking 200++ tips for his pocket. Despite this being our second visit, we find the prices to be exorbitant and the overall value to be lacking. As a result, we have decided not to return in the future. We will never go back or bring our guess for business to this restaurant. It’s our second visit but never have to go back again.

$100 deposit on old fashioned keys!! Thin walls are thin and the nightclub is loud The staff smoke just past the door so a pleasant walk into the establishment through their smoke One set of towels in our room for 2 Blinds with light coming from all 4 sides in window but no curtains Not recommended!

100% gluten free heaven. This place is delicious! I have celiac disease so it was amazing not having to worry about a single thing I ordered. My friends all loved the food as well. The service was so friendly and quick that we came back multiple times on our visit to Montreal! I highly recommend the yuca fries, and the plantains as starters. Any of the arepas are amazing!

Terrifying and unprofessional - don’t visit if you’re a Business Executive Booked 4 rooms, pre-paid under my name. St Regis Check-in refused to have a top customers check in even after I confirmed within Agoda immediately, even after I complied send out of the airplane a email confirmation… named all my customers, still refused , because I used another email address. Imagine, the booking ID is there, the booking confirmation is there and email confirmation and St Regis management refuses my customers to check-in. This is the most embarrassing Hotel and situation. I can only ask and warn you of this completely incapable and incompetent Management Team at the St Regis. Once and never again. No apology can make up for this Desaster.

Absolutely my favorite spa so far in Vietnam. I asked for a facial, 60min massage, and the Indian head massage. They helped me choose the Vietnamese massage option for my preferences and it was wonderful. Like a combination of Swedish massage and kneading techniques. Super thorough but gentle extractions during the facial. And the Indian hair massage was just the right pressure and combination of techniques - I’ve gotten “head spas” before that were just scratching and scrubbing and it didn’t feel good. And she detangled my hair as she went as well. I wish I could come here every week. They also had the same therapist for all three treatments so I never had to switch rooms and she kind of blended the three services together which also meant I didn’t have to lay in the same position for too long. Also delicious infused water to start, delicious tea and yogurt fruit pudding at the end. And I was able to shower before and was offered a shower after. Plus - a written questionnaire before and written feedback requested after. I truly have no notes - it’s perfect here. I believe my therapists name was Trâm.

Went for a late lunch and the service was nothing less than great. Chiril was super friendly and always ensured that we were content with our meals and drinks.
