Not well insulated between rooms. Wouldn’t recommend one of the courtyard rooms unless you are a smoker. Room smelled like smoke and neighbours spent the evening smoking weed which wafted through. Pretty dodgy area. Cafe couldn’t cope with more than a couple of orders at a time.

Great Stay

Great stay. Needed a room during my layover in the CBD. Small room, but all I needed to rest, lay my luggage and shop, eat,until my flight. Very close to everything. On the tram line and very near the subway.

More like a European motel 6.

Not so good. It was supposed to be handicap and it wasn’t other than one bar next to the toilet. The shower was open with no grab bars or drains in the main floor so floor was all wet with nothing to keep you from falling. It was very dangerous. I almost busted it several times. No where even to hang your wet towels. Bed was supposed to be king size. Turned out to be a full. Had to move our luggage into the bathroom to make room for my wheelchair to to get in and out the door. Too late and too tired to do anything else but sleep. Noticed stained sheets the next day on the bed that were not mine. Don’t recommend

This property needs a lot of updating and maintenance. Only one very very slow elevator. Staff said they are renovating property but they wait way too long. The staff are nice and attentive so I give them credit for that.
