Friendly staff, has the basic necessities, we didn’t need any extra amenities onsite so we were satisfied. The bathroom was clean and functional. For us, this was the most reasonably priced accommodation for what we needed. Also close to downtown and tourist attractions.
The fridge was awesome, even had a freezer compartment. Staff were super helpful and it was in a handy location.

The room was great for what we needed. It was mostly clean, a little dusty, but nice clean beds. It was nice to have a parking spot available as part of the room.
It was a clean bargain hotel which served my purposes. There is also a car rental place on the premises which is so convenient. It’s ten minutes to drive to the waterfront and there was lots of parking. Front desk was friendly and found me a folding chair when I needed one which was much appreciated. If you want a budget hotel that is close to the centre this is a good choice. Across the street is Namaste and I had very good Indian food from them as well.
Every staff I talked was really nice and I had no problem while staying there. It was also helpful that they hold my luggage after checking out. Thank you so much!
Free fast Wi Fi , free parking, fast check in and out.very friendly staff.
Very clean, comfortable beds, no noice, bus stand 15 metre,downtown 1.7km, Tim horton just cross the street, Mayfair Mall 6min walk.we will stay again
This hotel has an unbeatable location; we were able to walk everywhere! It’s definitely a great value for the money given how central and convenient it is. A perfect choice for anyone looking to explore the city on foot without breaking the bank.
I have stayed here on a number of occasions and always given good reviews. However, this time I was disappointed to get only cold water for my shower on both mornings of my stay.
This is a nice hotel for an overnight stay, very reasonable price. Staff were friendly, comfortable bed, very clean, newly renovated. Our TV didn't work, they offered us a different room.
I would stay again!
