    The staff was great! I had an issue with my reservation initially but the front desk and social media team were able to accommodate the error I had made quickly and efficiently. They walked me to my room and showed me where all the items I needed were at. I was 100% impressed with the team. Although I really didn't need it, I was never given the WIFI information. Having that along with my reservation information at check in would have been nice.

    It was truly awful, smelled terrible, everything broken down, room door wouldn’t close, management awful and unhelpful Honestly, there was nothing to like. It was horrible and I’m not sure how it’s allowed to operate smelling and looking like that

    Unfortunately my room didn't have cold water, so it was impossible to wash my face or hands with hot water. I had to use a water bottle to be able to wash my face. One of the windows blinds was not working properly but they told me that the hotel is undergoing renovations. Housekeeping also did a poor job cleaning my room but the staff were responsive and reactive when i complained about that.

    The staff were nice and friendly. There was free water and coffee and tea down at the lobby. The hotel was clean. Public transportation was really close by ( bus and tram). The room was very spacious. All the appliances were working well. It has a fridge, a coffee machine, a microwave, a stove, an oven and kitchenware.

    Parking was about $25 the rooms were refurbished so it wasn’t too bad I enjoyed the convenience of being right in downtown

    The clean room , bed and linens . The owner was friendly and helpful during the stay, but not before that (see below what I didn't like) If you arrive and the owner is not there, the staff doesn’t know the computer system and can’t check you in. Back in December 2025, I booked a 12-day stay for Jun 2026. Due to a technical glitch (browser refresh), the reservation dates changed, and I did not notice before confirming my stay (my bad). After receiving the confirmation email, I realised it and immediately requested a cancellation through the booking platform and contacted the manager (it is a family-owned and managed hotel). The manager, a family member, hid behind their own policy of not allowing cancellations and refused to cooperate, costing me over $2,000. This was still 7 months before the intended stay and barely a couple of hours after booking. In no way a last-minute change. I have never seen such greedy and heartless behaviour from someone who runs a hospitality business. Clearly forgotten the meaning of "hospitality". I hope this review deters a few of you from booking here, just to illustrate the silliness of this penny-wise, pound-foolish behaviour.
