The parkade connected to the hotel is also public. One night there were no available spots to park and I had to park on the street despite having paid for hotel parking.

Staff was extremely friendly and polite. Hotel is in a great location. The rooms facing Whyte Ave. can be a bit noisy at night -- ask for a room facing away from Whyte Ave. Room was clean and bathroom had a nice walk-in shower. Breakfast at Ampersand (located in the hotel) was delicious.

The Varscona was just what we were looking for—great location, courteous staff, no frills. They threw in parking in the attached parkade!

Came with a group of my friends while takin a trip down Whyte. Staff were amazing and rooms are very nice. The only u fortunate part was that there was actually a millepede (or centipede I don’t know I’ve never seen one before) on our pillow! Luckily the staff of course offered us a whole new room for it but we did not get any accommodations or discounts for that happening.

Just ok

Check in was fine, but after the first night, my room was only partially cleaned and a soaking wet hand towel was left on my bedside table. After the second night my room was not cleaned at all and I had to mention it to the front desk. They did not offer an apology but it was cleaned properly when I came back in the evening. Overall the hotel is fine, generally clean, and I would stay again, but don’t really expect anything in the way of service or hospitality.
