Meh

Honestly I generally like this hotel but a few times I’ve had issues with some staff, I had a guest and it wasn’t the person on file apparently and it wasn’t over night but they caused an uproar about it. The staff were very ignorant and surprisingly it was disappointing, I’ve stayed multiple times and never had an issue before this time but they are pet friendly and generally the suites are nice and cozy.

if you chose to pay for parking at this property, it is under the hotel which is very nice in the winter, which is the season I stayed during. this property is pet friendly for a small fee and there is a good sized green space (dog park) right next to the hotel which made it enjoyable for the pooch.

The hotel itself is fine. Dated…but fine. Things were clean and the staff are friendly. The area is not great. My wife and I have been lucky to travel all over and I never expected I would need to be on guard in London Ontario of all places. There were several aggressive homeless persons lingering around the front entrance. We even witnessed a full on fight amongst them. No one seems to care.

Would Stay Here Again

This hotel is better than some of the reviews suggest. It was clean, the parking lot is secured, and the staff very helpful. They called us after we'd checked in to see if everything was alright, and in the morning, they charged my phone for me as I'd forgotten my charger. Neighbourhood is fine. Morrissey House is across the road and a great place to eat!

When I checked into the hotel and paid with my credit card. On the hand held transaction machine it showed my card was approved. The receptionist told me it didnt go through. I explained what it said on the device. They had me run my card again and I had the same message of it being approved. I showed them and they told me it never did and asked me to swipe a third time and i declined. They refused to give me any print out of the failed transactions and the manage Nikita then told me she wouldn't check me in. I then called my credit card and was told they charged me 4 times. I was told to calm down by the receptionist twice and i felt was uncalled for as anybody going through this would be upset. No sorrys or valid explanations were given. The staff poorly explained things and just said they were working in it with IT. I paid an extra $30 for early check in to only spend that time on the phone with my credit card company and trying to get an explanation from the manager Nikita. If this didnt happen, our stay would have been more enjoyable.
