- Went to hotel last night, got there around 11pm, line was about about 40 people, got inside in about 10 minutes. Bouncers were friendly guys, no problem, I don't know why people keep complaining about them. Inside, I must say I was pretty satisfied, the club was full but not packed enough to the point where I couldn't breathe. As for the ratio of guys to girls, it was 60/40 but than again what club doesn't have more guys than girls. The crowd was also an older mature crowd, I would say between 23-27.
As for the bar, I was also satisfied with that, the bartenders were quick and friendly. The price of the drinks were not not cheap but they were not overly priced either $5-$7. One thing I noticed was the club is a small intimate atmostphere but they still have three bars which is big bonus because you get fast service.
My overall impression is that it is a great club to go to and chill with your friends as it a club/lounge atmosphere. The crowd is good, and the service is great, the music is also good, I will definetly be going back some time soon. Overall 9/10.

- Went to Hotel last night (Friday, may 28) with four of my girlfriends. Got there at 11:30, a bit of a wait at the door. The bouncers were friendly and let us in pretty fast. I don't think anyone waited longer then 10 minutes outside. As soon as we got in, we were greeted by friendly staff. We walked into a very intimate club with amazing house music playing. The crowd was very good looking and stylish. By midnight the place was off the wall. Ratio of guys to girls was pretty much 50 / 50. Very mature / friendly atmosophere with an age group of approximately 25 - 35.
Although the layout of the club is small, there are three big bars located throughtout the club and a smaller bar when you first get in. Therefore, making bar service quick and efficient. Drinks are approximately $6-$7.
There was an excellent variety of music. Playing House, Hip hop and R&B. We had such a great time we are considering going back tonight.
My overalll rating of this club is 11 out of 10. I stronly recommend this club to any mature person over the age of 25 looking to meet good looking people, listen to great music in a lounge- type setting, in a club atmosphere !!

- We got to the club around 10:45pm. There was no lineup - thank god for that since it was bitterly cold outside. The doormen got us in very quickly after we told them we were on Bill's guestlist. As we walked in the staff wished us a great night.
The club itself is quite small but intimate. I didn't find the design of the club overly impressive. But for such a small club they have plenty of bars and bar space. There is a small dance floor and a raised 'vip area' (although I don't necessarily think it's a vip area) at the back that has it's own bar. That's where you will find Bill most of the night.
DJ Jimmy Jam did a very good job with the mixing and programming. The music was mostly house and some older house with two sets of R&B. It was nice to hear an old fave of mine, PJ - Happy Days.
It's an older/mature crowd. Average age would probably be about 25. That probably explains why I found the people there to be very friendly. Most people were dressed very stylish. I found the guys to be more dressed up then the ladies. Don't get me wrong most girls were dressed very stylish - but I would say at least 90% of the ladies last night were wearing nice jeans. The big problem was the massive imbalance between guys and girls at this club - definitely a sausage fest last night... keep in mind it was bitterly cold out last night so many ladies may have chosen to stay home.
I must say that our bartender last night was great. She was super friendly, fast and always had a smile. Drink prices were between $6-$7.
Overall, it was a good night. Thanks Bill for the guestlist. I definitely liked the atmosphere/ambience of the club and the mature crowd was a big bonus.
8/10

- Arrived at club at 10:45pm. There was no lineup. The security did not hold one because they were very professional and did not want the customers to freeze in the bitter cold weather. We told them we were on Bill's guestlist and were on our way (thanks Bill)
The friendly door staff wished us a great night and gave us a comp ticket for the new Bacardi O beverage. Paid the $2 to the friendly coat check lady.
The club is small, simple yet stylish. The bars are on your right hand side, while the dance floor is on your left.
DJ Jimmy Jam was on his game tonight. Great house music with a touch on urban. (Just enough to go to the bar to get drinks) 2 small sets of about 10 - 15 minutes. He also palyed some classic house which was very nice to hear. Mixing and programming were great.
The crowd was very good, mature. Average age would probably about 27. (Finally a night where I don't seem too old or see young teens with fake IDs running around) Most were dressed very well, a lot of people dressed in black. It took a while to get the crowd dancing though. The highlight was the H.L.A. (Not only that but one young lady? who wqs invloved must have swapped spit with 6 other guys and had her breasts squeezed enough times to make a litre cartoon of Orange Juice)
The Bartenders were excellent. Friendly, fast service with a smile. They too were dressed mostly in stylish black attire so they would blend in with the crowd. On the bar were candies and other goodies. The sample of Bacardi O was mixed with Club Soda. Thank God for those goodies. Drink prices were the norm for a classy club. ($6 mixed drinks)
Overall a very good night. I'll be coming back to this place a lot more often. Great crowd, atmosphere and party.
