Comfy hotel in great location.
Pros:

This is a great deal in a superb location for being near to the university and to whyte avenue. We’ve stayed here several times and always been very comfortable and happy with the value for money spent. The place is spotlessly clean and well supplied with amenities.

Cons:

Nothing really.

Excellent location for those with loved ones at the mazankowski
Pros:

Near mazankowski
Good front desk staff

Cons:

Booked on hotels.com at $136 and then asked for extension and was given compassion rate of $202/night - doesn’t seem very compassionate for people with family having open heart surgery
Room was not fully cleaned until I extended my stay (crumbs from floor & furniture ) so assume they thought I was checking out and did finally clean
There appeared to be no heat in the room and it was rainy much of the time

A good little hotel, but the neighborhood is kind of sketchy.
Pros:

The Hotel was close to a wedding venue we were going to.

Cons:

There was a lady in the room next to us screaming and fighting. Fortunately security to deal with the issue and we got a discount on our room for the inconvenience. But for several hours, we did not feel safe.
