Trevor, Surrey

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The good news is that the room was recently refurbished, with all new flooring and furniture. It was roomy with a kitchenette and the water pressure in the shower was great. And it was not too expensive compared to other nearby properties. It is also in a great location - close to downtown but not so close the it would be noisy at closing time. The only negatives are that I was on the third floor and it is a walk up; the hallway carpets are a little tired; and the water in the shower oscillated in temperature just a bit. Overall would go back and would recommend.

For the price this hotel was great. A bunch of buses ran close to the hotel to get us all around the city. The park was across the street and an easy walk to restaurants. Our room had a separate bedroom with two double beds and a kitchen which worked well for us.
