Had to give it only four stars for cleanliness as there was no daily housekeeping. Not sure why even if we were to keep our towels. Staff were however very quick to respond to any needs that we had in our room.

it was super convenient in downtown, which was awesome. But the place itself is just very outdated. It was OK for one night but if I was there for a whole week, I would’ve preferred something else.

The rooms are in need of an update. Our curtains didn’t close fully to block out the morning sun. Everything is old. The parking out front for drop off is very limited and unmonitored. The directions to the parking garage are useless. The staff were not helpful when I called to discuss changes to my booking. First the guy couldn’t find it, then after repeatedly asking for a manager, he asked if I wanted to speak to a manager. I guess asking 4 times wasn’t enough of an indication that I did. The only plus was the mall across the road had a liquor store, Tim Hortons (plus some other food court options) and a cute little breakfast shop with a grumpy old lady running it. The breakfast was good though and reasonably priced. And it’s very walkable to the waterfront area.
