It was useful for being a place to sleep and keep items locked up but beyond that I struggled to enjoy it. The property was in disrepair. The carpets in the halls, stairways, and room were dirty and looked like a vacuum hasn't been used in a long time. The room had holes in the wall in several places. There was trash in the fake plants in the hallways and it just seemed like whomever is in charge or upkeep is just not interested in doing their job. The hotel is definitely interested in making money while doing as little as possible. The staff were friendly to interact with and I appreciated having no push back on checking in without a credit card. The damage deposit was also reasonable. I'd only stay here again if I was in desperate need and not by first choice.

The property was very old looking and outdated. There was no elevator. The property is beside the CP railway so there were many trains passing throughout the day that were quite loud. In the room, the light was very dark which made the room look creepy. The window latch was very loose and I was afraid it would fall off. One of the baseboards of the wall was broken and the AC barely worked because the vent was dirty and dusty. The bed was poorly made but surprisingly comfortable although we were uncomfortable getting under the covers. I noticed one of the towels was stained and I didn’t see any towels big enough to shower with. The toilet kept flushing for hours until it eventually filled back up and the overall look of the bathroom looked old and uncared for. The internet was not bad, although we struggled a bit with the internet connection while using the TV. Lastly, the front desk hours are from 8:00am - 12:00am therefore we had to switch our departure time from 6:00am to 9:00am since we couldn’t check out before 8:00am due to no staff. This I wasn’t made aware of upon check in. - The lady who did our check in was polite and helpful. The man who did our checkout was an also polite. Both check in and check out were very smooth and quick and we received our deposit back immediately. The hotel was close to transit and locked after 12am. Entry only with room key for security which I appreciated. We stayed one night and it had our basic necessities so I am content. Thank you!
The trains that passed often.

Checking in to the hotel was ok, the receptionist was polite. The room was somewhat clean however to the tissue box on the bathroom counter was broken with the cover placed on the closet shelf. There was a clothes iron with a piece broken off exposing wires. The walls in the stairs were filthy as well as the landing by the door leading outside. Checking out was horrible. The man behind the counter treated me like I was nobody. Demanded I give him my debit card and when he was finished he told me I could go and waved his hand to tell me to leave. It was the most horrible experience I have ever gone through. I will never go there again and will advice anyone that I know to never go there.
