Staff are friendly, and public spaces are well maintained. The rooms are in desperate need of a complete renovation. Carpets are “crunchy” and the beds are a soft mattress atop a platform bed which slides around and isn’t particularly comfortable. The heat seems to be an ongoing issue in rooms from other reviews and we experienced the same - heat on blast and an inability to control with the thermostat, being told to turn off the thermostat and to crack open the patio door, which obviously creates security concerns. The bathroom is cramped and tiles show mildew in the grout. The pipes under the sink are fully exposed. The towels are small and thin and definitely smell and feel “eco friendly”. Hallways are very dark. Location is perfect for whyte Ave and is very close to campus, which is great. Unfortunately I don’t think we would return unless we know that rooms have been fully and completely renovated.

Great hotel with friendly and efficient staff. Really enjoyed the hot breakfast which is included in the cost of the room. Unlike other hotels, there was attention to keeping the buffet refreshed and clean. For a free hotel breakfast, this probably rates as one of the best for this type of property. Would definitely stay here again and would definitely recommend.

Lobby is beautiful a long with buffet area! Rooms are outdated and not up kept greatly! Beds at bottoms have holes, water damage in bathroom, my conditioner was previously used & was 1/2 empty! Parking was a joke we paid for valet,which is only $5 more than regular parking 1.5 blocks away. We requested our car for 5:30 AM, so I made sure to ask if the car would be swept off and heated up at that time and they said that it would be parked in an underground Parkade! When we came out at 5:30 car did not look like it moved from the front of the hotel it was covered in snow and still at -20. The reason I asked about this is so that I could give them my spare key to leave the car running.

Overall the hotel was good. The check in staff were polite but I wouldn’t call them friendly. Nothing to complain about, but nothing to rave about either. There was only one working elevator the entire weekend, which did cause some delays. Again, nothing major, but not great. Our fireplace didn’t work initially and it took three phone calls to the front desk in order to get someone up to get it going. There was a mix up with the valet service where we asked for our vehicle to be brought up and they brought someone else’s. The next day we were leaving the hotel to do some sightseeing and noticed our vehicle pulled up to the valet. We went back in and informed them there was another error. It did not inspire much confidence. Like another poster commented, the placement of a $0 bill with a pen and spot for gratuity for the breakfast felt a bit odd. Had that not been placed I would have left a tip of cash for the staff happily as they were great, but the “bill” was a blatant ask for a tip and just felt off putting. Although I tipped anyway. My biggest complaint was the bedding. Thin, thin sheets and comforters, no fitted sheet, just a flat sheet that often came off in the night and the pillows were single size on a king size bed. Very odd (see picture). Also, the bathroom vanity was also quite worn out (other picture). Some updates are definitely needed. Overall, not the worst hotel experience I’ve had, but not the best. Unsure if I would stay there again, but a solid choice if you want to stay right on Whyte Ave.

Located in the heart of Old Strathcona with great restaurants in walking distance. Attractive room, gas fireplace a real plus, well-appointed bathroom, lots of space. Breakfast options are good, smoothies are a nice extra. Staff are very pleasant and helpful.

I love this hotel and will book with them again. The service is amazing, and the hotel is clean and comfortable. The complimentary breakfast had a variety of choices and the service staff were the best I have seen. I love the location and parking options. I used the valet service and was impressed with the whole process. Keep in mind parking is 1.5 blocks away and the cost is $20. The valet was $25. I will stay there again for sure. Great shopping and eating is right out the door.

The hotel is very clean and modern. Free breakfast was well above average. The cappuccino was great! Great location, especially if you have an appointment at the university hospital. We'd stay again!! I discovered that a lot of Edmonton hotels now charge $15 for parking. For an additional $3, valet parking is the way to go. Left car out front upon check in and car was back outside at the time we specified. No waiting around.

Stayed here recently for 6 nights and had 1 King Bed Studio that I booked with Expedia. The room was a corner one on the 2nd floor, very spacious, with separate bedroom and living room with sofa bed and small kitchenette (including sink). The two rooms were separated by glass door/walls, but it was perfectly sufficient for two working adults. There was no cutlery in the kitchenette. The room also came with an outdoor patio with table and chairs. Very comfortable and well appointed room, even though it was a bit noisy due to air conditioning vents on the roof. The room came with complimentary breakfast (hot foods: meats, eggs, hash potatoes; cereals, fruit, yoghurt & fresh smoothies, bread etc) and it was quite nice and fresh. We also used their valet parking for oversized vehicles, and it was very convenient. All in all we had a good stay here, and would not hesitate to return when in the area.
