Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was a horrible experience, once I saw the cleanliness of the check-in area I should have requested a refund and left. The first room I was given had animal feces right on the bed. The second room was caked in dust and particle bits of I don't know behind and beneath every piece of furniture. There was no central heat, only a fireplace which I was scared to use based on the cleanliness of the rest of the room and a dirty old wall air conditioner. The hot tub and taps in the bathroom were extremely loose and the water took a long time to heat up. The parking was not free nor was there a lot of space for parking and there was no coffee maker in the room.

Lobby was a mess. We climbed 3 flights of stairs to our room, only to find an ashtray full of cigarette butts outside our door. Room was ok, but all we could hear was the next door Tim Hortons drive thru taking orders all night. There was junkies shooting up near the parking lot.

Good location, affordable prices, nice stuff, but cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired... Also, if you stay in closest to Tim Hortons apartment you will be forced to constantly listen to negotiations about ordering food from their Drive Through

Some of the staff were friendly enough, but they didn’t come in and make your bed or tidy up the room. They basically replaced your towels and emptied the one tiny little garbage can that they provided. They didn’t remove other garbage that wasn’t able to fit into that garbage can. Also, there were several things in the room that should be repaired, i.e. Bathroom fan did not work and it was stuffed with insulation and cobwebs; bathroom sink would not drain the way it should so it was always up to me to clean the sink; TV was a struggle because it kept losing its signal so you had to get up and change the TV back to HDMI. Limited viewing, limited viewable channels, most channels needed subscription or were French; bedspreads were old and looked dirty upon arrival; chairs also looked very used and somewhat dirty; there were cobwebs in the corners of the room; the insulation of the wall air conditioner was in need of maintenance; the door to the room did not fit properly and you could see light coming into the room from outside; the two chairs sitting area outside of the room was a wasp heaven, we reported the issue because we couldn’t enjoy sitting there for long because wasps were constantly swarming, and it looked like someone had plugged the crack that they wanted to go into with a tissue. No one came to check or fix this matter before we left; we were unable to open our window in the room to get fresh air, the crank to open the window was broken. The room was very dated.
