The location is great. Close to Kensington and many other amenities. It’s going through a renovation, but I had one of the renovated rooms which was really nice. I had a weird smell coming into the room through the heating unit. We let the front desk know and they were very eager to help. I don’t think it was anything to do with the service though. They offer a really nice breakfast. Great perk.

Great bang for your buck!

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast options were good. Rooms were clean. Hotel a bit outdated, but was great for the price. We got locked out of our room three times as the key wasn’t working. Location was also great. A little detail we loved was that the hand soap was liquid!
