    Carpets didn't look vacuumed. The shower/tub was stained and looked dirty. The hallway carpet was gross and had multiple stains. Everything thing just needs a very good cleaning

    Very basic the beds were comfortable but the room wasn't very clean. The place is old and run down. Decent if all you need is a place to sleep

    The room was very run down and the staff were not what I would consider friendly or approachable.

    The location was easy to find and easy to navigate to other places. The surfaces and linens were clean.

    The worst and horrible place I stayed for overnight. So filthy, stinky, noisy. The towels were yellowish, I was imagining the person will be affected with hepatitis. The health services could inspect a necessary precaution against cleanliness and property sanitation hygiene.

    Location so disappointed

    The whole place including hallway had a very bad smell. The room wasn’t clean. The microwave and fridge didn’t work. Too far from downtown.

    Room service was on time and provided enough. Close to bus stops and shopping plaza.

    Upon check in I booked thru a third party. @booking.com and it stated there was no deposit required when I went in being a visible minority and having luggage I feel the front desk lady was discriminating against me although there is no visible posting and my credit card was used to keep my room they declined me, and then shouted at me for their negligence on fulfilling their duty legally to post said rates otherwise that would be considered fraudulent activity and would have to be audited and required to submit all deposit in the CRA which I'm sure they do not . Also while waiting for management "the owner came in with his family" and then proceeded to shout at me I told them it's illegal to ask for money with no valid proof or legable documents pertaining their said clause. Upon my wait I seen them rent a room to a suspected hooker and John and charge them $67.00 and then try resell me the same room.im thinking how many poor people did they do this too .?? Beware of bodily fluids especially in this dodgy area and please refuse payment of deposit as the first lady said she doesn't care about third party rules and legislation and quite frankly I'm tired of these owners not complying with AHS or the laws and bylaws of countries they reside in.
