Stayed here for a couple of nights and overall, it’s a no-frills hotel with a few highs and some definite lows. One standout was the shower - great water pressure and temperature, probably one of the best I’ve had at a hotel in this price range.
Breakfast is very basic but appreciated for a quick start: soft-to-medium boiled eggs, toast, bagels, yogurt, apples, cereal (Vector and Frosted Flakes), cinnamon twists, juice, and coffee. Their sign mentions muffins, but we didn’t see any either day. Staff did a good job keeping things stocked.
The location is excellent… easy access to pretty much anywhere in Edmonton and lots of food options close by. Front desk staff were pleasant, and it was nice to see them regularly checking in on the breakfast area.
That said, the property does show its age. Burn marks on curtains, stains on towels and carpets, some burnt-out bulbs, and a general smell throughout the halls and room that’s hard to ignore. The noise is also a factor, you’ll hear everything from the hallway and even street sounds. Not ideal if you’re a light sleeper. We also noticed some people around the hotel that made us feel a bit uneasy.
Beds were okay, nothing special but fine for a short stay. There’s no restaurant on-site, so plan to head out for meals.
Unfortunately, I had quite a fall on the last day of our stay. The front desk lady was very kind and helpful in the moment; however, nearly a week later, I’m still waiting for a call from the hotel to discuss it.
