This was the perfect choice for an overnight visit with my Queen's attending family. It was very comfortable and clean and quiet, a convenient location away from the busy downtown, and included a delicious very filling breakfast. I would definitely stay here again!

We've stayed here many times and we will again. The included breakfast is amazing; greatly appreciated. The cost vs quality has been a good proposition for us. It's always a balance. The location for our purpose (visiting QueensU) has been a significant consideration and a big plus.. On this last 2-day stay, there was no hot water in our room. It was explained at checkout that a pump was down after a 3wk shutdown. But the hotel didn't tell us; we had to learn when we checked out. Had we known, as the hotel seemed to know, we would have stayed somewhere else this time and returned to the Conf Ctr next time.
