This hotel is not worth the money they charge. The noise from other patrons went on well into the wee hours and then started up again by 7:00am. Not conducive to getting any sleep. The bah tub was gross, but it didn't really matter since I couldn't shower due to the fact there was absolutely NO hot water. Carpet was... More

Stayed there with family for a weekend. Police woke us up both nights breaking up fights and escorting ladies of the night who were not registered there. The front rooms are filled with transients who live there week to week. Very rough and scary place. Cheap and dirty. The photos showing the CAA ratings is old, the rating has been... More

Very bad. Good Price Non-Smoking room smelled of smoke, and the sheets and pillows were not washed properly. At 10:45pm we had a noise issue continuing until 12:30pm when i phone Manager at which time noise issue ceased its University of Waterloo evacuation weekends so I can understand the social aspects but the "value" of this Inn is questionable

I was on a business trip little nervous to book here but this was very close to where the meeting was supposed to be.Very surprisingly I would say BEST PRICE. BEST LOCAtTION close to so many restaurants as well as liquor and beer store walking distance.BEST STAFF and BEST HOUSEKEEPING. I will be back here again.

This is the worst hotel I ever stayed in. Room was so filthy including walls, chairs and fridge and stove and a non-smoking room stinky with nicotine that we requested another room since we couldn't get a refund. Second room was slightly better, but not much as everything was still dirty but at least the chairs didn't have cigarette burns... More
