Staff was nice at check in, upgraded room from queen size to king size with no extra charge. The room was tidy, looked appealing, and smelled fresh, had adjustable heating in both room and bathroom. Just wish there was a bit more closet space to hang clothes other than hanger on front door. Overall great experience

Although the staff seemed to try their best to keep things clean, the room still felt quite dirty and unpleasant to look at. There were hairs in the bed, the furniture was mismatched and very outdated, and the overall condition felt run-down. The lock on the door did not seem very secure, and the limited renos appeared cheap. The security deposit was higher than the actual room cost, which was surprising. The pillow had a very strong perfume smell, and the lady at the front desk wasn’t particularly friendly or welcoming. Unfortunately, I would not recommend staying here. We paid $80. So you get what you pay for.

The property is in a safe area and provides cleaning on a daily basis. Besides the no visiting rule that I feel gets ignored, I have no complaints.

Upon checking they requested a $100 cash deposit, which was weird. The sheets looked clean, but there was staining on the comforter. Pillows were quite lumpy, but the bed itself was comfortable and the hotel was very quiet.

You get what you pay for. Here are a few points we have noticed 1. Bed was hard as a rock, pillows terrible (thick as 6 pieces of paper) 2. Water in bathroom trickles 3. No soap holder (they couldn’t spend the $4 at Dollarama for ones? 4. The chair they give you in the room was literally on its last legs. We were afraid to sit on it as we would be blamed for breaking it. 5. The TV required a wizard to use it where the up arrow didn’t work 6. The TV randomly turned on in the middle of the night (quite bright) 7. Laminate floor seen better days 8. They could have splurged for a bigger waste basket. We put 2 Gatorade bottles in it and it was full 9. The sink had no counter and was so small I couldn’t put my glasses on it to put my contacts in (and put a toothbrush and toothpaste on it)
