We chose this hotel for the value and convenient location to the places we need to visit. The hotel is clean and decorated in a retro style. Staff is friendly and helpful. Complimentary breakfast is a bonus as well as free parking. It is across the LRT station so easy access to DT and university. Overall a good hotel and would stay here again.

Ok for Overnight Stay
Overall the hotel has been fine. Very unhappy that there was swimming lessons going on while we were trying to enjoy the pool. Beds were comfortable. Also found it odd there was no shelf in the shower to put the soap and your own shampoo on.

Stinkiest rooms in the west
Smelled terrible, hotel in ragged condition. I’ve stayed here in the past and had no issue but it was gross this time. Never again
