    A pleasant stay overall, but slightly scary at night.

    I didn't particularly like that the room entry was from outside. Maybe in the summer when it is warmer, it would be nice, but it seems scary to walk around a facility when it is dark, to a room that you enter from outside. It seems a bit unsafe.

    The staff was very nice and kind. The bed was comfortable. The room was fairly big. Location was not bad. The facility was clean. The cost was great. Renting a meeting room at the last minute was easy and Virginia was very helpful.

    Nothing immediately nearby or so it seemed. Bar & restaurants20 min walk (reception staff info). Parking also pricey considering the location

    The rooms were just fine, on site restaurant though didn’t use it for dinner breakfast was basic by well done. Tram line across the street into downtown so useful if you fancy a beer it two.

    No central light in the room, just a few bed side lamps. No vegetables at breakfast although it was very good.

    Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff, I was complemented by a room upgrade to king size upon arrival. Room was very clean. Great value for money overall.

    The breakfast buffet foods were fine, but not top-notch; people with particular gastronomic or health-food expectations may or may not choose to use them day-on-day. This is nothing unusual for a conference-centre type place. There are other places to eat within walking distance.

    The hotel was under stress due to weather conditions impacting staff, fairly high non-seasonal occupancy due to displaced residents from surrounding districts (power outages, etc), yet the staff were friendly, considerate, efficient and effective.

    Tv very old with limited channels. Laundry room could’ve been a lot cleaner. Bed very loud even just sitting on it made a really loud noise: Could’ve been comfier but wasn’t uncomfortable

    Decent location that is easy to get to everything with a tram stop right outside hotel. Staff really nice, hotel clean and had no issues about safety.

    Walls are thin. Couple next door was quite loud. Facility is dated, needs renovation. Is falling into disrepair, not being kept up.

    Our housekeeper. Don't know her name. She is from Vietnam. Very friendly and helpful. The man in the breakfast room who brought me half-and-half for my coffee. The variety of choices for breakfast buffet. Better than any other hotels I know of in this price range. MAX stops right outside the main entrance.

    My room looked like it was in process of being fixed up a bit. The dresser was older and some of the drawers did not work correctly. But, I got a good deal on the hotel rooms and we were not in our rooms much at all, so I really did not care that the furniture was on the older side.

    The hotel and our rooms were clean and comfortable. The hotel staff was very respectful and professional. The food at the hotel restaurant was excellent! The hotel was close to where I was presenting for a conference so it was easy to get from the hotel to the conference.

    For some reason, one of the faucet knobs fell off when I went to wash my hands. I was able to put it back on easily but I wasn't expecting it to pop off so easily. Since we were on the ground floor, I heard quite a lot of people walking or driving by; it didn't impact my sleep but my sister had a bit more trouble falling and staying asleep. Also the heater was set to Celsius so I couldn't figure it out at first, haha. But nothing too serious.

    The room was comfy and efficient! We stayed here for Kumoricon and wanted a cheap place with easy access to the con center... this place didn't disappoint. It's near quite a few bus and light rail stops which made it a great choice for us since we didn't have a car. The breakfast was also really good! Overall a nice place.

    My only issues of the hotel were with my room. The tv didn't work in our room the the volume control just didn't work. I turned up the volume but no sound would come out. My biggest complaint is the bathroom. The fan in the bathroom didn't vent air so after a shower it'd get really humid/muggy. Also the toilet didn't flush well. I had to flush multiple times to fully get rid of stuff.

    Staff were really friendly and nice. They were super useful. Location is right next to the MAX so it's easy to get on and off the the train.
