The elevator requires you to use your key card to get to your floor, I don’t think it was working that way though? I very unkempt man was wondering around my floor (6th) and I watched him walk around the hallways and not go into a room. It made me feel a little uneasy when I ran down to get ice and he was just standing in the hallway near my room. The smell was… unpleasant as well. Other than that the stay was great and staff were awesome.

The parkade area into the stairs to get inside, absolutely stinks and is gives an unsafe feeling. Nothing super fun like a pool or anything. No AC in our room, it’s hot, having to keep the window open and listen to all the traffic and people. No fan in the bathroom so she was STEAMY. Also they really need to clean things like vents. Dusty sticks on our wall. Blood stains on the sheets. I think my total for one night with the deposit was like $350, that’s super wild for this kind of place. Beds are NOT comfy. Lady at front desk was kind as well as the boba tea shop workers. It’s definitely right down town Edmonton if you are looking for convenience doing a night out.
