I usually like Best Western but this place was bad smelly and the breakfast was cold and served like it was for dogs. The smell of weed was always there when you entered the main lobby. I could write more but it would take to long More

For the price, I rather stay somewhere else. We had called to let the shuttle car to pick us up and when we arrive to the hotel, the manager told us that we're not supports to do that. Your only allow to use the shuttle car once you check-in to the hotel. Our room was right in front of the... More

My friend and me spent a week in thia hotel over New Year's. Altogether the hotel is adequate. Arriving at 2am in the morning, we were greeted by the smell of marijuna in the lift and corridors. It was there for another day or two, but the smoking guest seems to have departed fairly soon. Our room was great, it... More

We stayed here last weekend. We found it for 70 dollars plus tax, which makes it great. The hotel is a bit old, but clean, and I think they'are going to recarpet it. The rooms are big, plenty of hot water. The breakfast is pretty good for the price, they have cereal, fresh fruit, yoghurt, donuts, croissants, etc. They even... More

As someone who has stayed in this hotel and now lives in the area, let me give you some background on what to expect. Other reviews have the actual hotel covered pretty well, but a few things need to be known about WHERE you're staying. 1. The hotel is in an industrial area. It is NOT a dangerous area by... More

I had points from a boutique hotel I stayed in from another country so I had this for free so I cannot complain about price--otherwise it seems to be a bit high for the value. It is a family- run business which is really nice..decent free breakfast...a bit industrial location unless you walk the 10 blocks to the subway. The... More
