The place is a little run down, the washroom/shoower room missing floor, a lot of damage in the walls of the room, the AC looks like hasn't been cleaned in a while, 70 CAD a night is a rip off considering the state of the place.

Staff is what staff every should be. They are there to assist you. We pay for that service. Sounds simple but that basic agreement is lost on employees too often. Location is great in a great city

The road that this property is located on is currently under construction-which can make it annoying coming to and leaving the property due to increased traffic. The bathrooms are shared-which comes with its own annoyances. The price is good though.

They advertised that they renovated there property. They lied. Even if it is a cheap place to stay, it's to dirty, only received a towel, no face cloth or soap. Room, wind sill full of bugs, dirty window, screen, curtains. Tear in bed cover. Walls dirty and have visible repairs. Tear in bathroom lino, damaged walls in bathroom, awful. Fridge dirty, Microwave dirty. I already stated someone walking into my room and some of these conditions. I was not offered any compensation. I would not recommend to no one. Darlene O'Hare

Being so close to the university hospital i had good expectations. This cud be a nice place for people wanting to be near the hospital. But, the hallways are dirty the rooms need to be refurbished( paint, new sheets, blankets and pillows) and keep the drunks from yelling and fighting in the halls and parking lot. I dont know if someones at the desk at night. If not, there needs to be to keep the peace and phone police. The fellow at the desk when i got there was nice and helpfull. Cud be a nice place, its convienent and a modern building.
