Great accommodation
Pros:

Room was great! View onto street, comfy bed, nice bathroom. Perfect location for exploring town with everything at your doorstep. Nice coffee on tap in common area and great rooftop deck with sauna and seating.

Cons:

Pillows were too hard and low!! The onsite parking at rear of hotel is limited and based on first come first served. We had to park on the street a block away which wasn't ideal. Street parking is max 2hrs at a time from 9 to 5pm. You can't top up meter after 2hrs, you have to move your car to another parking spot.

Would Not Recommend for Families
Pros:

The location of Adventure Hotel was convenient, and the staff were very friendly, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, that was about where the positives ended.

The rooms themselves were very disappointing and felt more like a hostel than a hotel. The beds were extremely uncomfortable, the room was very basic, and there was an unpleasant smell, almost like a locker room. The heating and cooling were also poor. We were either too hot or freezing and could not get the room to a comfortable temperature.

We were on the backside of the hotel, so there was no view, although it was at least quiet. However, the bigger concern for us was the environment around the property. There were people in the parking lot openly using drugs in front of our 11-year-old, as we departed in the morning.

I will say the restaurant was incredible and was definitely the highlight of the stay. The cafe was just okay.

Overall, while the staff were kind and the location was convenient, the room quality, comfort issues, smell, temperature problems, and safety concerns made this a very disappointing experience. I definitely would not recommend this hotel for families.
