Varscona Hotel on Whyte

Air conditioner not working

Lots of

Rooms were 90 degrees They had shut off main air conditioning unit so couldn’t get any cooling in the room at all

The location is great for restaurants and pubs. We attended a concert at Jubilee Auditorium, which was convenient. The only downside was that the rooms were too warm for sleeping. The AC had been turned off for fall but it was warmer weather than they anticipated.

Rooms had no A/C and were extremely hot. Had to leave room door open as no air flow. All they offered was a free 17$ breakfast and wouldnt fix it. Gave a fan. Once i spoke with expedia, hotel staff published a letter stating to not turn heat on and out in our room. We obviously didnt have the heat on. The room was abiut 30 degrees in october and could bit be adjusted. Do not recommend at all this hotel To top it off i was trapped in elevator 2 times!!! And they said nothing about it said it happens sometimes. Not ok at all, scary and unsafe! I was told they would give a discount but they didnt send one.

Needs a revamp

Location is not family friendly. Parking lot was very dirty

Clean room. Very nice staff.

For paying a premium you don’t get premium amenities. Pay extra for parking in a public parking lot, then get parking tickets on top of it. Pay $17 for breakfast buffet that isn’t any better than motel 6. Sink was broken and hot water that you need to wait 10 minutes for…

Was only there for a night. Check in reception were very nice and helpful in getting our room early, even with the busy weekend due to a concert. It is in a very nice area with food and bars. quick uber ride to downtown. Parking available with the hotel and even on the streets.

Hotel is on Whyte Ave so lots of Dining and shopping options

Was a great night

The gentleman who checked me in was wonderful, I ended up forgetting to book a night and he was able to help me extend my trip so I could stay in the same room all nights, the bad part of this was the room itself, the floors were first, the AC didn’t work and the windows were broken so we had to call maintenance to open the windows (and to close them if we wanted that), when told about the AC, they offered no way of getting it fixed and just offered to bring us a box fan that was so loud we couldn’t sleep and that didn’t even help much, I had to request a second fan just to get the air moving through our hotel room and that still didn’t help bring the temperature down. I couldn’t sleep the entire 3 nights we were there and the staff was unapologetic and just gave us an excuse of a “transitional period” I’m pretty disappointed in this because the hotel lobby itself was very nice an inviting. After a 7 day road trip I was looking forward to relaxing and sleeping in for the last few days of vacation but that really didn’t happen. The breakfast at the restaurant was ok, food was bland but for the $15 add on it got the job done.

No temperature control in the rooms, no doggie poop bags in a ‘pet friendly’ hotel, no extra pillows, extremely noisy, lots of homeless, poorly dressed desk clerks.

Clean room, good area!

Hhhh

Love the parkade right close by. Gives you a perfect home base to explore and play on whyte Ave without thinking about your vehicle!

Room and stay was good restaurant was really poor. Didn’t have much normal options on menu and when asked for not spicy was extreme spicy for the older people I was with.

Can be some sketchy Chad

The room was nice, staff were good but only one bottle of water was left for 2 guests and there was vomit/feces in the stairwell of parkade
