Thanks, Ken for your review. We are sorry about your concern, and the front desk was not feeling well on that night and he is still in the hospital. Thanks again and we appreciate your feedback.

Manager was not helpful after having a drunk man sleeping in the bathroom that was shared. Yelling and screaming all night long. Terrible.

thanks for your review. the fact is that after your complaint the manager did call the cops and the person was removed.You have to understand that sometimes the situation is not under our control and needs help from outside, which takes time.Thanks

Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024
Response from Scott on 11 Jan 2024
the rooms are centrally heated, if it was colder for you, should have asked for a heater. Secondly, when you book a room, take some time and read what it comes with. It is written very clearly that the rooms share washrooms.

Dirty rooms
The whole building is dirty. There are holes in the walls in places. The room and bathroom were dirty. Everything was dusty. The bedding looked dirty. The room smelled bad and the halls have a weird odour. Something in the bed scratched me. They originally gave me a room that someone was already in. They had no hand soap in the bathroom and the room didn't have towels. I will not be staying here again and do not recommend it. Spend the extra money and stay at The Inn On College next door.

I never been so scared on my life! But the 1 hour of staying in this hotel is the worst experience I been! Check in at 12am I’m out at 1am. I can’t stand. This is not a hotel it’s a homeless shelter. And the environment is so scared. Even the front guy in the office. They are scared people. I’m not recommend this place. It’s a hunted house not a hotel. And a lot of homeless scary people outside!

We are sorry that you did not enjoy your stay. You said that you were scared of the people. I think it is your personal problem. However, our lodge is pretty nice and clean and provides a welcoming environment at a very reasonable price.

I will;l suggest you control your temper. You got mad because you put your stuff in the common-use fridge and someone took it. I tried to help you with that. 2. someone was loud in the morning, we posted notes throughout the facility to be quiet but, we cannot babysit the guest. You should have come to the front desk and ask for help. 3. The night person cleaned the washroom after your request. 4. We tried to help you out but you were not ready to get help for some reason. 5. After you checked out you left the bed sheet with blood stains. 6. The bed was stained with curry as well. The eating area is outside the room, the guest is supposed to eat there.

Very bad hotel. Please do not stay here if you are with family or partner. They don't even broom or clean any carpet. you can tell from carpet they didn't clean it for many days. All people I saw there or around just came to smoke weed, you smell inside and outside of the building same thing. AC in unit has no control if it runs it keep cooling until so cold will never come to this hotel sorry
