I love this hotel and have stayed annually for several years. I book the same partial harbour view suite room type, in a favourite location, allowing a view to the Parliament buildings. At night, it's beautifully lit up with white lights. The photos confirmed the location and description of the same partial harbour view at time of booking, so I knew it was the room type I always get.Yet when I arrived, I was asked if I wanted to pay an extra $25.00 for the room type I had booked already anyhow. Rather than debate it as I was late to meet friends and still had to change and unload the car, I agreed. This took the room to quite a substantial price, and negated the savings I normally feel I get from booking through Expedia. Plus it did not seem fair since I believed I was getting the same room type anyhow that they were asking extra for. Was disappointing as it felt like a post Covid money grab for something I had already booked and was paying premium dollars for. Everything else was great except for a loud party that went on til 2:15 a.m.
