I will strongly recommend that you DO NOT stay here. There is no secondary locks on the doors. The bathrooms are shared. In the room I was in the mirror was off the wall and had white powdered residue on it. You have to pay $25 for a key deposit for the front door. The rooms have a 4 digit code and no other locks on the door. And my cab driver even said that this was a bad place to stay

Wouldn't recommend for an enemy. Had to check out early due to excessive noise and cold. Middle of winter but the heater wasn't working. They gave me a little space heater but kept tripping breakers for the entire circuit in the room. People running around drinking and partying but management had no answers. Asked for a refund for the remaining days off my stay to no avail. Worst experience in a hotel of my life. Avoid this place at all costs. Only thing positive was the shared bathroom was kept decently clean to my surprise.

The place is a little run down, the washroom/shoower room missing floor, a lot of damage in the walls of the room, the AC looks like hasn't been cleaned in a while, 70 CAD a night is a rip off considering the state of the place.
