One of my favourite places to stay in Edmonton. Right in the middle of the action.
Pros:

Right down town. Amazing location. Heritage building with lots of character. Clean , modern. Nice finishes. Nice linens. Comfortable bed.

Cons:

Parking is beside the hotel in a public parkade which felt a little sketchy.. but not too bad.

Great stay
Pros:

Great staff, went above and beyond for our anniversary stay. The location can't be beat for hanging out on Whyte ave with lots of amazing food, cafes, and stores around.

Cons:

It's a little loud with the bar downstairs. I expect it being on Whyte so it's not a big deal to me but be aware. Also you have to reach across the shower to turn it on and I hate that.

Comfy But Not Great
Pros:

Room was clean. Staff were very friendly & welcoming

Cons:

Hotel only provide 2 towels. We didn't discover that till after 7 pm. We asked for more & were told there weren't any available until morning when we could come down to front desk & get some!?
We didn't have vouchers for breakfast & they only offered a buffet. We only wanted a muffin & coffee so eating at their restaurant wasn't an option.
