Mostly exterior walks,entrance steps and below dish sinks in kitchen area. More important are the grounds need to remove winters leaves,branches and trash. A professional arborist should be consulted and identify scope of work needed. Very nice grounds with age. Remove vines that are killing trees.

Was asked to leave at 6am for being seen on camera in the 24/7 laundry room they provide for using the wrong soap to wash my clothes. Long story short after the security guards intimidation and harassment tactics didn’t work (because I know my rights and did nothing wrong) they called the police on me. Guess what, the police were on my side and even though I was treated poorly and harassed for hours by security which ruined my night. I was permitted to stay

My fellow travellers were kept up by late night banging and talking. This was not the facilities fault. It was due to inconsiderate neighbours and an older facility. It used to be a convent. The suite itself was great with a kitchenette, nice bathroom and wall partially separating the queen bed from the two single beds. I will stay again.

The property is located near University of Western so it's convenient and walkable. However, the mattress is not in a good shape--sagging in the middle. It's not comfortable at all.

For a short stay that is economical, this place is just right. The TV is smaller than my home PC monitor, but I never need to turn it on. Washroom even has make up removal towel to keep their own bathroom towel white and clean. Heater is in good working condition and facilities is good with washing machine, iron board, blowdryer and fridge in common area. Parking is at the back of the building which google didn't bring me there. dragging my carry on luggage along the icy ramp up to the building was a bit difficult, otherwise, no complain.
