In case you cannot tell from the pictures this place seems to have converted two old houses into a hotel. If you are looking for modern hotel this is not the place to go. The hallways are old, and the floors in them squeaked, there was random furniture in the back house's hallway and it all seemed a little dilapidated... More

This is our second visit to this hotel. We spend one night in a standard room a few months ago and last week we spend 4 days during the holidays. We booked online a room with Kitchenette 2 weeks in advanced for the 4 days stay. The rooms are nice and clean and good size. The rooms we had are... More

NEVER AGAIN. There are so many things wrong with this palce. Its moldy, dusty, the water pressure sucks, no elevator, parking...questionable considering the front desk keeps your keys. In a nut shell don't waste your money More

My husband and I are professional students so our bottom line is something that we consider highly when booking a room. This is the second time we booked at this hotel and we will be coming back again! The rooms are small, but I find that for the price I paid they are so much better than what I would... More

It looked like the place is falling apart. If I did not pay in full I would not even stay one night in this place. There were some kinds of crumb on the carpet and under the sofa in the room. The AC/Heat unit in the room was so noisy and annoying we could not have a good night sleep.... More

This small hotel could be great, but the inability of the current owners to understand Canadian levels of cleanliness is very evident. The pillowcases were unchanged, i.e. wrinkled, hair from the previous guest on them.. I took the pillowcases off and the protective covers were actually YELLOW with other guests' sweat etc. They smelled awful. When I (discreetly) took them... More

First of all, we WOULD stay there again. Why? It's cheap, like really cheap. We booked on-line at CDN$63 + tax per night, which was 1/2 the price of anything else in the area. It's quiet, it's clean, the suites are roomy, and the staff is very friendly. The negatives? It looks like a former rooming house that has been... More

I am filled with regret that I did not read the reviews here before booking 3 nights at this pathetic excuse for a hotel. Noisy, smelly, dilapidated, dirty, and uncomfortable are all words to describe this Travelodge. After one night I knew I could not endure another so I spoke with the man at the front desk (hardly a concierge)... More

The place is falling apart and has not been updated in... Well pick an era, they're all here. Shower might as well be a pressure washer that cannot maintain temperture. Lights don't work, light switches do nothing. Furniture is falling apart, paint is peeling off the walls, wires are run along the door trim. Included breakfast is cereal and bagels... More

Firstly the room was very noisy being at the front of the building over reception, the extremely loud AC unit didn't help either. The room was relatively clean but very dingy and dated, the whole place is in need of renovation. My biggest gripe though is parking, it said free parking but in reality this means giving your keys to... More
