Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
They are simply charging a RIDICULOUS fee for this hotel. This is at best a 2 star hotel and they are charging 4 star prices. Rooms are tiny, beds are tiny, hotel is a minor 1970's upgrade. I've never had a hotel where I felt like what I paid was so completely out of step with what I received. Stay somewhere else - even paying a bit more for a proper hotel is worth it, otherwise you will feel incredibly ripped off.

The ONLY decent part about this hotel was the location. This hotel was grossly over priced, not clean, no plug ins available, no AC (which we knew) noisy fans, a screen that kept falling out on the 3rd floor. Book elsewhere!

Ma pire expérience dans un hotel. Personne a la réception pendant 20 minutes même si on téléphone et fait sonner la cloche. Le matelas est tres tres mou et pire il fait un V ce qui fait qu’on est toujours sur le ;point de tomber en bas. Il n’y a pas d’aire conditionner et le pire est que le moustiquaire n’est pas fixer et les moins tique ou souris peuvent enter dans la chambre. Les draps de lit sont comme du papier sabler et irrite la peaux. La tv est une Rolo qu’on connaît bien mais celle ci n’arrête pas de parlé par dessus l’émission que l’on écoute et impossible d’avoir notre Netflix. Au deuxième étages ou on était le restaurent voici laisse une porte ouvert qui permet d’avoir tout les odeur de cuisson de poisson jusque dans notre chambre. SVP ÉVITER CETTE HOTEL CAR A PRÈS DE $500.00 LA NUIT… Nous ne sommes pas rester pour la deuxième nuit on a payé un autre chambre d’hôtel meme s’il ne nous ont pas remboursé le deuxième nuitée.

Centrally located, which is fine on a weekday, but last Sunday there were people partying out on the street til 230 am. The next day, the elevator was out of service, so we had to carry our bags down (not a huge deal, but not great.) The room we stayed in needs updating, particularly the bathroom with peeling paint and scuff marks. The people at the front desk were very nice and courteous, just wish the place was nicer.

This is my 3rd time in this hotel. We stayed for 2 nights. It was good, convenient and safe the only down side is the room with no air conditioner. It was really hot on that day so I end up opening the windows all night good thing that our room is in 3rd floor it's okay to sleep with window open because it's not really noisy. When it comes to dining, there are a lot of restaurant nearby so we didn't have problems on choosing where and when to eat. Overall the location is really convenient.

The location can't be beat; it is the center of downtown. The ice maker was not working. Reception staff were pleasant and helpful, but are often away from the reception area doing other tasks. The room was clean and simple with a few signs of wear and tear.
