The place was fine and quiet, and the communitary kitchen is valuable. But I forgot my phone charger and they didn't want to cooperate to give it to me back. This is not professional from an accommodation like this one, which is not inexpensive.
The building is old and unkept. To get to the reception you have to go up a service elevator which is filthy. The room was also in bad condition. The carpet was not clean, there was a brown liquid splashed all over the wall, and the storage cupboard smells very strongly of fish. The bathroom toilets to not have lids, they are like the ones you would find at the mall. The shower head is broken so that the water pressure was poor and spraying all over. No shampoo or any other necessities are available.
The bed was clean but old. The walls are also paper thin. My last concern is that the door to the room is auto locking, so there is no way to physically lock it from the inside. I found this concerning as a solo traveller.
There is a kitchen on site and fridges that are for communal use. Itâs very reminiscent of a hostel. However, there seem to be many long term residents that are not keen to have you near there things.
No one returned my call.
Upon arriving I was told there was no bathrooms in the room it would be an extra charge.
Did the upgrade to then find out there was no shower
Had to do another upgrade from there was expected to pay for it, and then no soap was provided at all.
For 130 a night I would have been better off to sleep in my car and find a sink to wash up in for free.
Very disappointing especially after a long day at the hospital, this is supposed to be a friendly welcoming place for families with loved ones in the hospital.
Wouldn't stay there again, or even recommend anyone to
We very much enjoyed our stay. The only thing that was confusing was finding the entrance and parking. We went around a few times before realizing and asking someone where to park. It's too bad the parking lot wasn't at the front door but all in all I definitely would book another room and stay again.
Masonville Shopping Mall is just around the corner. University Hospital is just down the Road as well as Western Unniversity. Reasonably priced and convenient with free parking.
I only needed to sleep there because my wife was at St Joseph's hospital at Cheapside entrance for surgery. The scenery was calming. It was quiet. The staff was most helpful. It was clean and tidy. The first night Ann and I slept overnight on the queen size bed. I slept great but not Ann because she was nervous about the upcoming surgery. She would have liked bathroom facility in the room. If she would have known about the bathroom being down the hall she would have taking her housecoat. The price was right.
Beautiful peaceful balcony view, nice for sitting outside in 25c weather studying, lounge was also scenic with large glass windows. Kitchen had all necessary cooking items, I only used the kettle for tea & soup. I was there for 2 in class sessions on 2 Saturdays in a row. Third weekend of September it was peaceful to study on Friday eve & I gave 5 stars for everything, I had a room at the end of the hall near the lounge. But this last Friday night/Saturday of September was a noisy eve, all night because of home coming... I only gave 4 stars for this stay because your staff gave me a room near the kitchen & elevator, with lots of talking & doors closing after midnight & I got woken up several times & I had to get up at 6am for an 8am class at Western University. I asked the girl at the desk when I checked in if this was a quiet room away from the excess noise & she said yes... no it wasn't... all the students had rooms at the end of the hall by the lounge but they were gathering near the elevator & talking loudly late at night. So I didn't sleep much... anyway, I survived. I like the hotel for the nature & peacefulness. It is clean & tidy also with friendly staff, I recommend it for affordability & a self serve clean kitchen!
