Clean and very convenient. Staff were nice and great location. I saw in the comments that it can be loud but it was very quiet from what I found. I would stay here again but I would recommend upgrading the bed. It was a little hard for my likings.

The immediate surroundings, visible from my window, included 2 cannabis dispensaries, a tattoo parlor, several affordable ethnic restaurants, and a really excellent barber shop. Best haircut in several years, although it was a bit pricey (C$45.00). This may or may not be your kind of neighborhood, but I enjoyed it greatly.

This hotel should be 100$ a night at the most! This is basically a hostel. The location is great but that's where it stops. The cheap bed and sheets must be at least 20 years old. The cheap furniture is at least 30 years old. At 250$ a night, they could at least buy decent beds. Trust this review, this is NOT a good place to stay!
