My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, albeit large, comfortable, and quiet, were not very clean and had some issues like holes, drywall repairs, and used-smelling sheets. The blackout drapes darkened the room and offered views of parking lots and possibly a less-than-pleasant neighboring strip club. The service provided was friendly and helpful, but some staff members struggled with English and customer service skills. The location was convenient for downtown and various attractions while being within a short drive of entertainment venues. However, the cable service was unreliable, and the surroundings were not entirely comfortable, with some noise from nearby activities. The dining options were limited, although the breakfast provided a decent variety. Overall, it was a budget-friendly stay with both positive and negative aspects present.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the free Wi-Fi in the room was a nice touch, I was initially disappointed to find my room dirty upon check-in. The blackout drapes made the room quite dark, but I had to keep them closed due to the unappealing views of parking lots and even a strip club next door. The early morning noise at 6 am was also a nuisance.

My stay at this hotel was a bit disappointing overall. The rooms were pretty dirty, with no microwave or coffee maker, in need of repair, and noisy with guests yelling and fighting.

I found the hotel very clean and affordable. Although my room wasn't ready at 6 am the next morning, I was able to use their washroom, which was well-maintained. The service was top-notch, with helpful staff guiding me to transportation and restaurants at an affordable price. The location was convenient, within a 10-minute walk to Budweiser Garden, despite being next to a strip club. Dining was a hit-or-miss experience, with breakfast being terrible one morning but above average on another day. The hotel facilities were well-occupied, and the overall experience was positive with a youthful crowd respecting the noise policy.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were standard but nice, with some issues like exposed wires that posed a fire hazard. The staff was quick to address the problem but missed some basic room essentials. The pricing during the busy weekend was high, making it less satisfying. The breakfast hours were limited, resulting in a missed meal due to sleeping in. However, the location was bustling and convenient, and the service, aside from one inappropriate encounter, was friendly and helpful.

The hotel had a good location, convenient for my needs, but being close to a very busy strip club wasn't ideal. The rooms were basic and clean, a good size, and I appreciated not being disturbed by housekeeping until late in the morning. The service was helpful and always with a smile, although finding garbage between the bed and nightstand was a downside. Dining options were limited with mostly simple carbs available, and the breakfast room was closed during my stay. The facilities were decent, but nothing extraordinary.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were initially a complete mess with blankets, clothes on the floor, and a strong smell of beer and cigarette smoke welcoming me. However, after requesting a clean-up and fresh sheets, they were at least tidy and clean. The service was friendly and helpful, especially when dealing with a stressful situation around the air conditioner. The location, although bright, was a bit disappointing due to being beside a strip club in what some might consider not the best neighborhood in London. The dining experience was a plus, although the building's condition was not ideal. Overall, the hotel had its ups and downs.
