Excellent newer hotel on U of s campus

Excellent hotel on campus with adequate parking. Shares same location with Staybridge Suites. Staff were attentive and very pleasant. Breakfast was adequate. Not many dining options within walking distance which may be disadvantage if you do not have a car.

Booked a king bed suite for two nights and only used the rooms to rest. No parties or gatherings of any kind. We were out all day and got back around 11pm. First night was not bad. On the second night, the room was getting pretty warm and uncomfortable it was so hard to sleep. We set the a/c to 22C. At around midnight I noticed that it kept on getting warmer. Checked the thermostat and noticed that the a/c was not working. I called the front desk and he sent someone to my room. The guy looked at it and tried it and confirmed that it’s broken. Called front desk (night auditor) again to ask what could be done because I would have a hard time to even have a couple hours of sleep considering I had to get up really early. He said I’d have to talk to the manager in the morning. Sure enough, I didn’t fall asleep until around 3am and that’s only because I took allergy medication to knock me out otherwise the discomfort of a warm room would not let me sleep at all. So I got up at 5:30, showered, packed up and left at 7am. Around 10am I got a very generic email from Veronica, the manager. Email basically says they apologize for the inconvenience and that I should give them another chance. I was so disappointed and basically upset because there’s no effort at all to try the issue. I replied. 2nd email was basically blaming me for not letting them know right away eventhough I did! We will never ever go back and recommend them at all!

The property itself is decent for the price, however they do not offer any dining except breakfast and it is hard to find any restuarant close by.
