Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Building looks tired. Double room was tiny with only a desk and chair. Noise from the street was hard to mitigate due to fan and vents in the window. No elevator so climbing up 4 flights of stairs with a heavy bag is a challenge. Fortunately staff willing to help. Although 5 shared bathrooms on the floor 2 were closed off for maintenance. At Cad$147.00 not value for money certainly not compared to YWCA in Vancouver. Even though dinner & b/f included they weren't quality. Wouldn't stay again.
