First thing i noticed walking into the entryway was the cleanliness of everything as i made my way to the counter. The Associate was very polite and cordial! The staff made checking in seamless and was granted an upgrade to a king suite. I have been to many overnight venues and i could not find a single complaint "1" with the cleanliness! Bravo to cleaning staff! (My wife is very picky in the "clean" area and she gave 2 thumbs up). Thank you mostly to the staff and also to the management that gives the "Boots on the ground" crew the tools they need to reach excellence! Well done all!

I first visited 20 years ago - it was a great place. Sadly, nothing has changed since then (carpet, bedroom furniture, coffee machine, etc.) - place is a bit run down and needs some updates, especially with newer hotels in town. Staff were really nice though.

Everything about our stay was amazing, from the staff, room, amenities. The only one thing I had a problem with is we ate at the restaurant every day and continuously ordered the same menu items but the quantity wasn’t consistent. On one particular dinner experience my son literally only had 2 broccoli crowns and 3 carrot slices for his mixed vegetables with his salmon but the other two nights the same meal came with 5 broccoli crowns, tons of carrots and sliced onions. But I didn’t complain at the time because the flavor was very delicious and staff was amazing. Also I know they’re thinking about doing away with sofa beds but I really wish they would reconsider because that was truly the deciding factor in my decision to stay there. Thanks

We stayed here previously and staff was amazing, this time not at all. The stays were literally just 5 days apart and this staff was downright rude at best. We had to check in late (around 930pm) because we had been on a tour through the artic circle that lasted all day Whomever checked us in was irritated that she had to help us because the other girl (who had helped us in the previous stay) was busy with another guest. We had told her that when we left previously that we would need a later check out, (as told to us by the other clerk just a few days prior that it wouldn't be any problem because they had very few rooms booked this time of year)

This hotel was close and walking distance to the grocery store and coffee shops. The rooms were dated, adequate, spacious but dirty. At least 2 inches of dust around all the baseboards- seemingly only cleaned where a vacuum could reach. Full kitchen was a plus but when we went to take a shower the drains were clogged. On our first night of three at Sophie Station the front desk staff (I don’t remember the ladies name) acted like she was annoyed when we checked in. She gave us the complete feeling we were interrupting her “cell phone” time. She didn’t greet us when we got to the front desk and never did smile once. Disappointing .

The room was clean but no maid service for at least a four day stay. The temperature in the room was extremely difficult to control—- very, very warm and only one a/c in the bedroom. Sitting room was uncomfortably warm. Granted the weather was warm outside, but there was little ventilation possibilities.
