What I like about the Hotel is that it's a good spot if you wanted to go to the Beach in the Summertime and relax on a nice trip. The only downfall of my rating are the Hotel conditions. Around The window area, I've noticed that there are a few cracks on the edge of the building, you can hear the storm drain non stop during rainy days. There's one part of the ceiling that looks like a leakage might've happened on the top right end by the window in Room 416. Last but not least the noise, because the AC is connected to the window, it's nice to have it during the Hot Summer Season but the only downfall is when everyone has fun honking at each other in the morning like you left your window open. At least they had a comfy bed.

The room was fine, our room was supposed to have a choice but only had a chair which was still fine. One of the pillows smelled like puke, threw it on the floor. The parking… if you have a large suv it’s extremely hard to park and be able to get out or manoeuvre the lot. However, we enjoyed our stay, I would book again. The room was clean, the shower was nice, the bed was comfortable.

The staff were really nice and helpful. The rooms/lobby were really clean! It was a tad bit noisy because of other guests in the hallways but understandable because of the concert. It’s about a 30 minute walk from the sky train if you prefer not to take the bus. Very close to the beach and a good area for food and shopping. The rooms were nice but the hotel could itself could use an upgrade as it’s outdated. Especially the elevators. I would stay again as the staff and cleanliness made it enjoyable :)

My room had a noise issue from the neighbors, as well as a broken heater. When I asked the manager to be moved, he said there were no rooms available. I looked on Expedia and turned out he was lying. Plenty of rooms of the same type I booked were available. After pointing it out to him, he reluctantly changed my room. I don’t understand what the issue would be with changing the room and why would the manager lie. Terrible service. I highly recommend not booking this hotel. In addition, their walls and doors are so thin and the cleaning people start chattering at 8 am and you can’t sleep past that time. Rooms are also dated and furniture is worn and chipped. The pictures are not entirely accurate.

Heating is a problem in the cold seasons, on the fifth floor. Balcony doors are old and let in lots of cold air. The radiator does not produce a lot of heat. Otherwise, the rooms are nicely appointed & the service is excellent.
