ONLY caveat is the parking situation. What you save on the room will cost you in the parking lot you have to pay for around the corner. DO NOT park at the parking lot listed here on Expedia. It is an uphill hike for a couple blocks. There is a NCP parking lot right around the corner. It's a little pricier, but it saves you the hike to the hotel. The apartment rooms are wonderful. It was nice to be able cook in the room and to bring back leftovers from O'Sheas which has great pub food one block away.

The hotel is average value for money. A cosy room in a building with classic English architecture. I should also mention that the rooms were of old construction. However, everything in the room was as it should be and worked properly. The entrance to the hotel is a bit unusual. The reception is to the right of the entrance and looks a little cramped as there were tables and chairs from the hotel cafe right in front of it. However, the reception staff were very attentive. They found my coat, which I had left outside the hotel, and when I asked if they had seen it, they immediately checked and returned it to me. I would like to thank them.

Overall stay has been great. Unfortunately, my check in experience wasn't smooth at all. Danz was very rude and I didn't appreciate her really negative attitude and behaviour towards me especially as I am a long standing and loyal customer. She didn't bother to listen to anything I was saying and charged my card when she shouldn't have. I was very disappointed with the way I was spoken to by Danz and this has left quite a bitter taste. I hope to never experience anything like this again particularly with Danz. Having said that, when I saw Nour later in the evening, as always he was so friendly and welcoming. He is such a great team member and I'm grateful that he was there when I came back. He listened to my complaint and was so understanding. Thanks to Nour for putting a smile on my face and making my stay more enjoyable.

Likes - the area was very walkable and close to everything. Grocery store across the street and a very pretty bar in the front of the building. Enjoyed access to a kitchen and washing machine. Dislikes - stayed on the first floor at the front of the building and found it very loud at night. I could hear the lyrics to the songs playing in cars as they drove past the hotel. I guess the beautiful old building doesn't come with modern day sound proofing. Unit could have been cleaner, especially in the washroom. The staff was either lovely or they ignored you - it was a very mixed experience. I’ve stayed at other Locke properties and this one didn’t live up to the brand.
