So we went off to a mall for lunch and some shopping and stayed until dinner. We came back late in the evening and finally got checked in. The rooms were situated far from the hotel lobby and basement parking especially if you had bags and luggages. Our room was on the second floor which was only accessible by stairs. The walk up and down was easy and not an issue once our hands were free.. The first thing we noticed upon entering our room was a very big spider on the wall. It was hard not to miss it because its body was the size of a saucer and it was fast moving. So we had to ask for it to be removed as we were not sure if it was venomous. The room was big and clean with two queen-sized beds. The mattress was comfortable and we slept just fine. The bathroom needed a bit of renovating and thorough cleaning. Breakfast buffet consisted of assorted breads and spreads, fruits, eggs, sausages, tomatoes, cereals and noodles. Coffee was good. We checked out at 10am.

Like that it was still lovely after all of these years. Close to the Casino and Oasis plaza with the tram right out the front. read more Like that it was still lovely after all of these years. Close to the Casino and Oasis plaza with the tram right out the front.

I encountered a lot of different staff over those few days and they were all very helpful and pleasant.

Even though it was a buffet, everything was prepared perfectly. I appreciated that when my family and I entered the restaurant, we were immediately asked what kind of coffee we wanted, and our coffees arrived at the table before most of us had even sat down.

It was enjoyable, but I wouldn't say it was worth the $45 per person price tag. The hash browns were definitely a highlight; they had a wonderful flavor. The bacon was also quite good. The sausages looked a bit odd, but considering it's a French hotel, it might have been a local specialty—we decided not to try them. Overall, the quality was quite good and fresh compared to most buffets. I didn't try the congee (I believe that's what it was, and it had an Asian appearance) because there was an inconsiderate woman coughing near the food… it was unfortunate that the staff didn’t intervene and ask her to cover her mouth or move aside. It’s one of those social dilemmas about not wanting to offend someone. Many nearby places offered breakfast specials for $10-15. Still, having a buffet breakfast in the same building is quite convenient.
