Great location, close to a variety of food establishments and relatively close to retail locations such as Staples. Only hiccup was the time it takes hot water to get to showerhead (older buildings). Otherwise staff were great and hotel is well maintained.

Great stay. Very conveniently located hotel. I did receive a parking ticket even though I had communicated the information to hotel staff and parking was included with my stay. The staff was helpful and said they will fix the error.

Check in was easy with street side parking. Alex at the front desk was very helpful. The desk and cleaning staff were all top notch. The room was very nice. My only issue was that, as a person with mobility issues, transitioning from the hotel to the parkade involves dime amour of stairs. Otherwise, amazing stay.

Great hotel in the heart of Whyte Avenue. I often stay here when travelling for business. It's convenient and accessible. The building is older, so some of the non-renovated rooms reflect that. The front-desk and staff are very friendly and hospitable.
