Great area for music, food and theatre
Thanksgiving on Whyte Ave. It’s an old refurbished hotel with character. Wish the shower was better no door so water can get on the floor, but it’s big head low flow. Room coffee maker isn’t fun to use, it is unique, but coffee is good. Little fridge in a box gets very hot, leave cupboard door open. Ice is a walk to the second floor. 2Glasses, 2wineglasses and coffee cups. Complementary wine tasting in Hotel restaurant.

6/10 Good

No blue bins - not eco friendly in the rooms. Staff wasn’t knowledgeable w/ the events of the hotel (ie was supposed to be a complimentary wine tasting, which was reiterated to us @ check-in but there was a wedding there & front staff apparently wasn’t aware. Room was not as expected & not worth what they charge. View was a concrete roof top. Found day front staff a bit abrupt/rude). Breakfast was not incl w/ our king suite(s) & was $14.95 ea for a mediocre breakfast w/ a few hot foods. Parking will cost you $20 +tax in the parkade. We came back from our night out to people making out on our vehicle before security showed up! Ended up w/ some ‘scuff’ marks on the car. The stairwell to the parkade stunk & was littered w/ ‘stuff’. Not very safe. First & last time staying @ the hotel.
