We stayed at this hotel last minute due to an unfortunate cancellation at a different property. Overall, we had a good stay. The service was good when we did have minor issues. The coffee maker would not work but was replaced very quickly. We asked for extra coffee and it was at the door very quickly. What we didn’t receive was the Expedia upgrade due to the last minute booking. The floors are hard flooring, however the cleaning staff neither swept nor washed them upon service for the second night of our stay. The opening windows were nice because the HVAC did not cool the room. I think we got a room that was the last available because this is a very busy area. We will stay again for the location and the hotel does treat the guests well.

Staff was extremely friendly and polite. Hotel is in a great location. The rooms facing Whyte Ave. can be a bit noisy at night -- ask for a room facing away from Whyte Ave. Room was clean and bathroom had a nice walk-in shower. Breakfast at Ampersand (located in the hotel) was delicious.

Came with a group of my friends while takin a trip down Whyte. Staff were amazing and rooms are very nice. The only u fortunate part was that there was actually a millepede (or centipede I don’t know I’ve never seen one before) on our pillow! Luckily the staff of course offered us a whole new room for it but we did not get any accommodations or discounts for that happening.
