We booked with low expectations based on previous reviews. The location was great for us, close to amenities and easy to find. The lady working the front desk at check in was wonderful, very friendly and helpful. Our room was clean however there was a very strong musty smell in the room that really bothered my husband and I. We were going to request another room but we spoke to 2 other couples (one on the ground floor with us and one on the second floor) and they both said the same about their rooms. Based on this, we wouldn't return.

Our room was musty and smelled like it had been smoked in at one time and the carpet was filthy! The air conditioner was noisy and the smell when it came on was awful. Breakfast was terrible and there were not enough tables so we went across the street to Tim's instead. Will find other options for accommodations when visiting Amherst in the future. Sorry!

Nice check in. Advised to park in the back to access the back door which was closer to our room. Sketchy area. Moved the car where I could see it from my room. Assigned to a room on the second floor. No elevators for those with limited mobility. Room smelled like an animal had been there and they tried to cover up the smell of the rug (which needed to be replaced). Bed was comfortable. Bathroom was clean. The toilet didn't work right. Had to manually move the float in the tank to get it to flush. It was too late at night to call for help. We would not stay there again or recommend it to friends traveling to NS.
