This centrally located older but clean hotel was okay. I got the value for the money I paid. I was just off the front desk so it was a quick in and out. Breakfast was okay at Denny's. If you are visiting the hospital either as a patient or visitor then this is great for a short term stay. Front... More

I stayed here for a convention and it was a decent place to stay. It is not exactly in the budget category, as I find the Howard Johnson next door cheaper. It is close to town if you need access to downtown, but it is a long ways to the North Shore if your business takes you there. If you... More

Stopped in on our way through. The price was right as we had booked on line and received a special deal. The lobby could use a major update, but the room was tidy, clean and good for the price. But the outside of the Hotel is colored a dirty pink colour. If we had not pre booked I do not... More

Pros: Close to hospital Cons: Dog policy (or rather lack of customer service on the phone), water (HOT or COLD no happy medium), room RIGHT off the lobby...lots of noise, room window being VERY thin and LOTS of noise from the alley, lack of follow up from management.

Thank you for your comments, we appreciate all responses even when they are uncomfortable to hear. You should have been told when you made your reservation that pets cannot be left in the rooms when you go out as the animals usually are unhappy when being left alone and can disrupt other guests.

The hotel was clean and staff friendly. We were on the third floor - it wasn't fun carrying luggage up 2 1/2 floors. I'm surprised there is no elevator in this building.

I have read the other reviews and honestly don't think I can see many positives about this motel. It looks dodgy from the outside, but gets worse when you go in. The beds were lumpy and the room had the smallest bathroom I have EVER seen. You literally couldn't turn around in it without hitting the bathtub or the door.... More
