Location
Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel sits in a questionable location, above a strip club, but it's quite close to downtown. The rooms are basic and have never been cleaned thoroughly, just the towels changed once. The service is lacking, with subpar housekeeping and no welcome drink. However, the location is convenient for entertainment and accessing the downtown core. The dining options, particularly the tartines, are nothing to write home about. Overall, it's a budget-friendly choice with decent facilities.
The hotel is conveniently situated near the city center, providing easy access to Chinatown and various attractions. The rooms, although only having the towels changed once, come equipped with a TV. The service, including housekeeping and a welcome drink, is satisfactory. However, the proximity above a strip club affects the overall experience. The dining options, despite offering homemade bread, may not meet everyone's expectations for variety. Additional facilities are decent considering the value for money.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location was convenient, being close to Dundas Square and the nearest bus station, the fact that it was above a strip club downstairs was not ideal. The room I stayed in had the towels changed once during my stay, but the TV was never cleaned. The service was average, but the provided welcome drink was a nice touch. The dining options were limited, without regional jams, and the facilities were just about average.
The rooms are basic, with only the towels changed once, but they come equipped with a TV for entertainment. The service is decent, offering amenities like housekeeping, laundry, and a welcome drink. While the location is near the city center, the neighborhood might not be the best. Facilities are not extensively detailed, but overall, it offers a functional stay with a few drawbacks to consider.
