Nice hotel. Parking is not good and was not well explained by original front desk on check in. It was inconvenient for the restaurant to stop serving food at 9 on a Friday. We ended up going to the restaurant at the crowne royal. Front desk staff were polite but didn’t offer any assistance when i was carrying all my family’s luggage by myself. Unlikely that I would stay here again.

The property was great. The front desk staff were amazing. Though we were a bit disappointed with our service. On the one night that we ordered room service, they said they had knocked and we didn't open the door. We were there, yet no one knocked for us to open the door. Our food finally arrived after the front desk called to see if we were still in our room. We also had an issue with housekeeping on the 4th day. We left a generous tip mid way of our stay. On the 4th day, when we returned to our room, the towels were not replenished, the sink wasn't wiped down, and there was a tissue on the floor. The last few days, once again our towels were not replenished, so we had to call the front desk. Who ever cleaned our room at midway point, was not the same person as in the beginning. Otherwise, we had a very pleasant stay. And yes, we would stay there again.

Gorgeous hotel
The Walper is a gorgeous hotel. Right downtown, which can make it a little loud with traffic, but not bad. We went as a mini getaway over a weekend. So many restaurants within walking distance, although, we ate at the restaurant located below the hotel called the Social. It was amazing. Food was fantastic. The delux room is beautiful, and spacious. I would recommend this hotel and definitely stay there again.
