my heart dropped as we rounded the corner to this hotel. everything was drab, lifeless and everything was poor quality, including the reception staff. the porters were the only good thing about this hotel, they were always helpful and courteous. The room was horrible. our sheets and blanket were old and torn, the towels were threadbare and the toilet looked... more

This hotel was part of a Transat Tour and I was a little nervous when I read some of the reviews on Trip Advisor. Granted, this is not the Ritz, but the hotel was fine.

We stayed at the President for 2 nights and I can honestly say it's one of the worst hotels I've stayed in. The rooms were very basic which isn't something that normally bothers me but it wasn't particularly clean, the sink had a massive crack in it and it didn't even have a hairdryer! It was very noisy which you... more
