It was off to the side, but had several crooked panels. We also experienced many electrical issues up there.
I'd recommend staying away from the Marlborough. They do have a nice dining room on the main level you can use for events, "Churchill's Dining Room," but again, dealing with the management there is more headache than it's worth.
I think your problems are a function of the hotel belonging to the Ramada Chain.
However, if they ever decided to put some money into the old girl the Marlborough could easily go toe-to-toe with the Hotel Fort Garry.
