I was so unsure how to rate this hotel...it is priceier than normal for us but as a special 40th anniversary treat we stayed for 2 nights...not really the hotels fault, but their elevator was broken What most bothered me was that there was no senior staff in the lobby directing everyone to the staff elevator...they said you had to walk up...we did 3x to the 4th floor then a nice young bellman took pity on me...I am 66 years old with 2 recently broken legs and said take the staff elevator...this should have been available to all...not only randomly As I could not walk down for a glass of wine, I ordered room service...1 glass...18 Pounds and a 7 pound 50 delivery charge...$50 Canadian dollars for a glass of wine I would have thought that with the lift broken they could have waived that Nice room...incredibly expensive drinks and sandwiches $180 CDN for 3 glasses of wine and 1 sandwich in lobby bar Broken elevator ruined what was a very special weekend

This was our second stay at the Rubens at the Palace. Both times we brought two of our granddaughters. It is a beautiful hotel in a great location. It has the intimacy of a small hotel with all the amenities. We especially love the breakfast room.

This is very nice hotel. The best part was the staff, specifically Jason at the New York Bar. He's more than a professional. He is a natural. He took time to ask what we liked and made works of art for us. To call them cocktails doesn't do them justice. You can see his passion for his work in every drink he makes.
