208 Queens Quay W
A real waterfront-resort feel with square, bright layouts; fire alarm announcements, winter lake wind and elevator breakdowns are everyday annoyances.
Good points
- 509/510 streetcars straight to Union
- Connected indoor-outdoor pool and lake-view terrace
- Square layouts with floor-to-ceiling windows and good light
- 24-hour front desk; parcel handling rarely goes wrong
Problems
- Frequent fire drills and false alarms with very loud announcements
- One elevator is often out of service; long waits at peak times
- Lower and middle floors facing north get constant traffic noise
- Corridor carpets and wallpaper are dated on some floors
- Strong lake wind in winter; feels colder than downtown
