You get what you pay for.
When arriving, parking can be a bit confusing. Some spots are metered, some free to use and a parking lot directly across. Which opens at 6pm and can only be paid in 10 hour increments. There is no elevator on the property and it is a very noisy creaky building.
The property is communal living so the kitchen and restrooms/showers are shared. Some cleaner than others. The kitchens weren’t unkempt but they didn’t feel clean either. There was also a note on the fridge complaining about others stealing food.
The room itself is fairly small and the walls are thin. During my stay it stayed quiet from about 11pm-6am with noisy guests in the morning. We got a room directly next to the stairs and the sound of steps were very loud. You’re also provided with towels but you may need to call and request extras if you have more than one person in the room. I do also wish the towels were nicer quality, but they worked.
The area is nice, but there are unhoused people in the streets. However my partner and I walked down the street late at night and weren’t bothered. Level Up Bar/Arcade and the Macdonald Theater is an 8 minute walk. As well as some food places nearby.
The staff were very friendly and helpful, but you need to call the helpline in order to get help, messaging will take longer.
Overall it was okay for a 2 night stay and very convenient. I would stay there again in a pinch but would splurge on something a little nicer if I could afford it.
