Hotel is sandwiched between a highway and LRT train line. If you don't hear trucks zooming, you hear the train whizzing by. Hoping it quiets through the night. Bathroom floors could use a steam/deeper clean. Also, good shower pressure, but have to crank it almost all the way up to get hot water. Front desk was very abrupt and didn't tell us anything about property or area Have an ice bucket, but no clue where ice is. Glad we are just staying for one night.

Honestly, this is fine. You don't walk into your room and say wow, but it's good for a good night's rest. Bed was comfortable, pillows could have been more fluffy. The decor is dated and rooms are dim, but the service and cleanliness were good.

I didnt like the hittub was out of service. I always stay hrre because of the hottub. But this stay i was a bit upset because the timer was broken. They could have called someone else in, instead waited til after the long weekend to fix it. They should give a discount

This property is in a convenient place. However, construction in the area made it difficult to park. The room was clean but run down looking. TV reception was very poor. Breakfast was disappointing (not much of a variety). Upon check in, there is a $100.00 deposit added to your room, but refunded upon check out. I find this amount a bit much, as other places I have stayed at charge $50.00. Staff were polite & courteous.

I know I shouldn’t expect too much with a place where the room is $120. But I would expect cleanliness. The bathroom had something yellow and mushy on the ceiling and it’s a low ceiling so very obvious. And there were tiny hairs in the bathtub. The bed was uncomfortable. There was a constant ringing that went on.
