the employees are very kind and helpful. I had fun talking with them. They helped me bring my luggage, order food. The place and my room were very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good. Excellent value for money. I would happily return to this hotel! $20 maximum for an Uber from the hotel to the city center. Easy access to the train too! Thank you again for helping me have a good trip despite all my unforeseen circumstances. I will always be grateful for what you did for me. Elizabeth from Quebec!

Would stay again
The staff was great, helpful with our questions and addressed the one concern with had promptly. We wanted a hotel close to the college so we did not mind that it was slightly dated. There was a lot of noise from other customers but overall we would stay again!

STAY AWAY! We checked into our room, got ready, went out, returned & they rented our room to another guest! And kept our things in it! We had to call the police. They weren’t giving us our things, at least not all of them. It took 3 efforts. The person staying in the room, poured out of my facial oils on the clothes in the room, because they were disturbed at 2am! They also went through my things, used my toiletries & then damaged my clothes. All of which I had to disregard. Non of This will be replaced or am getting reimbursed, except for with Expedia! They have been great and refunded us our room. This is / was beyond!
