I liked the location, I liked the staff (super kind), I liked the the room, even if it had a leaky faucet and a very noisy bathroom fan. I did not like the fact that there were too many "refugees and or asylum seekers" staying at he hotel, they were very noisy, they were not considerate to other people's rights for a quiet evening/night, and we witnessed them stealing food from the breakfast table, that was despicable

Room had no window to the outside. The window overlooked an interior hallway. The hallway overlooked the parking area but you could not leave your room blinds open as everyone walked by your window. The room window was wired glass.

They charged me 50$ plus tax for 1hr early check in ! Nobody came to clean the room or ask if I need anything for 3 days ! The last night of my stay , around 3:00 in the morning Ive heard something very heavy like a car or something is banging the door next to me for like 30 min , inside of the room was clean when I arrived . The area is not a good area and The hotel is used for homeless people accomodation so The situation is undrestandable . The staffs were nice , unless for charging me 50$ plus tax for no reason ! No room service .
