Disgusting
Cons:

There’s a smell in the property and there’s loud noises coming in the room all night. The receptionist called me as soon as i entered the room that there was a problem in payment and made me come down to pay 67 cents. He couldn’t charge my card so i had to give him a loonie.

Wasn't expecting much, but it was fine. Good location & value for money. Many ethnic restaurants.
Pros:

I would give it 5 stars for a 2 star hotel. Room and bathroom were big; bed comfortable; everything clean. Great that I could open 3 windows to let fresh air in. Right next to Cora's which is great for breakfast.

Cons:

Couldn't walk in to check in - had to bash on a glass door even though the clerk could see I was there and he was a little curt. Hotel is in an old 2-storey walk-up building, so a touch shabby, but OK

ダウンタウンのコスパ最高ホテル！
Pros:

立地は最高の割に周辺の宿泊施設より安くコスパが良いと思います。飲食店やコンビニも近く、ダウンタウンまでのバス停は目の前です。大きい荷物だったからか、階段を考慮して一番手前の部屋にしてくれたのはたぶん考慮してくれたのかと思います。

Cons:

特にありません。

Spotless, comfortable stay in the best location
Pros:

There is a very reasonably priced restaurant attached to the hotel that serves an excellent breakfast and lunch and opens at 6am.

Cons:

The hotel is in the midst of renovations so the lobby is a little rough around the edges. But the hotel provides lots of signage and information for guests and functions without missing a beat. The work on the renovations starts around 8am but is contained within a separate wing so it has virtually no impact on the occupied portion of the hotel.

Still under renovation
Pros:

The staff was polite and helpful

Cons:

They are still not finished with their renovation which makes it uncomfortable. No lift to the rooms which was hard.
