Stayed in the City Suite. The room itself was really nice. Spacious, modern and updated. Had everything we needed. Although pull-out sleeper sofa in the living room was just uncomfortable. I don’t recommend using it unless you really have to. Also the noise was quite bad. My room was facing the street and I could hear traffic and ambulance late into the night even with my ear plugs. Also there’s a pub downstairs and I could hear people talking, yelling - but the worst was the music. The rumbling bass sound kept going past midnight. Might be better to get a room on higher levels so you are further away from noise source. Overall very nice hotel, just beware of the noise.

A wonderful place to stay with a comfy bed, large bathroom with shower and separate sitting area. They gave us a free upgrade to a King suite so appreciated the extra space. Great to have had coffee and tea supplied in our room with a microwave, kettle, fridge and microwave. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Parking is just around the corner for a nominal sur-charge. The only downside was our room on the 4th floor faced the main street and it was pretty noisy all night long. We will definitely stay here again

Great location , really nice rooms for the money. And the parking should be included if you’re staying more than 3 days. Just as a bonus. Thats all. To pay $15 a day for parking is crazy.

Expedia and Strathcona argue about who did what, but in the end, the room was cancelled without me knowing until I tried to check in. I had to find alternate accommodation on my own, last minute, so paid double the price. Expedia refuses to give a full refund, even though it wasn’t me who cancelled. I will not be using Expedia for any more travel.
