The staff were so friendly! Easy going and quick to smile. The room was huge. If you don’t mind older decor you will be fine. I was able to do laundry and have a really decent breakfast all for no extra charge. I would definitely recommend this place.

Free breakfast is included for all travellers, which is a nice benefit. The selection is the same each day. I have been staying here on and off for several weeks. The rooms are very spacious, especially the signature suite. The overall hotel interiors are quite dated. That said, the price is very low and the customer service stands out as a highlight. Rooms are also equipped with air cleaners. As a bonus, there is a free laundry facility (free detergent too).

There was no internet service in our room, staff was notified & took readings in the room to confirm & will hopefully get IT involved. It would be helpful if a basic instruction manual was available so guests know how to operate the TV system.

Perfect location with access to outside restaurant strip on Elgin. It is 6 or 7 walkable blocks to the Parliament buildings. Very Large rooms, fantastic breakfast, great kitchenette, free laundry facilities, safe parking and fantastic staff. The downside is the carpets were old and filthy (keep your shoes on in your room dirty) and the place really needs a reno (at least on the bottom 4 floors that we saw). People smoking in the rear basement stairwells and butts left on the floor were not removed.
