Convenient Location

Arrived a little before check in time so maybe waited 10mins. Easy parking in underground garage. Very friendly staff. Room was spacious and had microwave and refrigerator. Location is close to C-Train and in free transit area. Easy to get around town on foot. Indoor hot tub was nice too. Bed was 7/10, and limited counter space in bathroom. Would stay there again.

Not a great part of town. Lots of scary people right outside. Sink didn't drain properly. Nothing to drink in the room - not even a bottle of water. Corp lounge was terrible - only had bread and coffee.

No parking

There are only 7 parking stalls for full size trucks and they are often stolen by others. This is ridiculous as the only alternative is high cost parking lots. Our air conditioning never worked and it took 4 visits by maintenance (who repeatedly implied we were idiots) to install a noisy portable unit. Will not stay here again and may avoid the Sandman chain completely

Parking was an issue as we have an oversized vehicle. First night all the oversized parking was taken, but the front desk staff pointed us where we could park (extra charge). The next morning I went back down to the front desk and was given an oversized reserved parking spot. When we left, we returned to our spot occupied. Complained to the front desk and she allowed us another “reserved” spot. When we return again from picking our son up from football camp that spot had also been taken. That being said the front desk staff were amazing and I know the parking situation is beyond their control. We had a king/kitchenette suite as well as a king room w/sofa bed which accommodated our family of 5 perfectly. My husband and I both commented how awesome the layout in the king suite was.

Overall the property was ok. Main areas are well kept and modern. Being located downtown there were quite a few sketchy people around so maybe don’t go out late at night. The C Train has a stop right outside which is convenient if you need to use it. The room itself was good however the mattress in our room really needed to be replaced as it was hard and not very comfortable. The walls are also quite thin as we could hear people in the room beside us. There are also pets allowed in the hotel so we could hear dogs barking. Overall the stay was ok but could have been better.
