Beautifully and uniquely decorated space. Staff were friendly. Room comfortable. Only issue was a strange smell in the room; I don't know if it's because of the way the kitchen and room are connected but the room had a smell of food rubbish. However, reception were nice about it and listened to the feedback, which I appreciated.

Ember Locke is a beautiful hotel with friendly staff and a very convenient location. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because it was rather hot in our room, but the hotel would not turn on the A/C. We were told to open our windows. This didn’t help much and the street noise was very loud. Other than this, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Super comfy beds!

The hotel is stunning, lovely decor. They were accommodating as I arrived very late. The breakfast was nice. The room was spacious and clean. One issue I had was the window in the room. I'm very conscious about my safety, especially travelling alone as a woman. The room was on the lower ground floor, could be accessible via the street. . It was around 2am and checked the window before sleeping. It was open and I couldn't lock it. It was in two parts and jammed. I had to call the front desk to come down. Dinish had to climb up on the chair to secure the top window so that the bottom could close and lock. I'm glad I thought to check for my own safety

Absolutely LOVED our time @ Ember Locke! The staff were extremely kind & helpful, with a big shout out to Patricia who assisted us throughout our 7 night stay. She went the extra mile to help us @ check in, recognize my birthday and warmed us with a wonderful goodbye hug. Everyone was helpful, the community warm & inviting, with easy access to multiple public transit lines, food onsite & easily walkable locations and a grocery store within 3 minutes door to door. We felt very safe walking the area day/night. Just can't say enough good things about our experience @ Ember Locke. Truly wonderful, Thank you!!
