Terrible experience do not stay here
I strongly advise against booking this hotel. On my first night, I found three cockroaches in my room. I went straight to the front desk to report it, and their response was unacceptable: “We don’t have any other rooms available.”
So I was forced to sleep in a room with cockroaches.
On top of that, I was staying on the fifth floor, and because there’s a rooftop pool, there were visible signs of water infiltration in my room clearly a serious maintenance issue.
Thankfully, I contacted Expedia immediately, and their team took the situation seriously. They tried to call the hotel (which didn’t even answer) and then took action right away to move me to a different hotel, which was much better in every way.
👉 Hotel service: 0/10
👉 Expedia service: 10/10
Avoid this place. You deserve better.
Our condo unit was clean and comfortable, the locationwas a perfect diatance to 5th ave and to the ADO station. Lots of restaurant options within a 5 minute walk.

Extremely noisy and unhelpful staff
My stay was disappointing. The room was extremely noisy, and when I asked to change rooms, I was told there were none available — which clearly wasn’t true. The microwave was unusable because it was missing the base, and there was no coffee machine or cups in the room when I checked in. I had to specifically ask for one. The staff seemed indifferent and unwilling to help. Even a simple request to check out an hour later was met with “impossible.” Overall, I would not recommend this place for more than 2–3 days.
