Stayed for two nights: December 3 and December 4, 2010.
Check In: Very friendly staff and very accommodating. Allowed me to check in 3 hours early at no charge. Ample parking although the spots closest to the hotel are usually taken by the Tim Horton's patrons.
Room: Old decor, but everything was clean. Bathroom, bed, sheets were spotless. The bed was very comfortable and I had no problems with the heat/cooling system. Large flatscreen tv was great. The fridge provided was handy. If you intend to reheat leftovers, make sure to arrange for a microwave in your room as they are not provided automatically.
Pool: Did not use the pool, but saw it. Small and had a slide. Great for kids.
Wi-Fi: Hi-speed internet service was ok. Slow at times, but I was never without service. There's also a business centre that incudes a computer and a printer in the main lobby.
Food/Area: There's a Tim Horton's attached to the hotel! That was much appreciated especially since it was super cold outside. The Kingsway Mall is located directly across the street, walkable distance. It has a nice food court (KFC, Thai Express, and Subway to name a few). Department stores such as Sears and the Bay are also within the mall. There is also a restaurant within the hotel, but I did not try it.
This hotel was about 1/2 hour from Edmonton International Airport and a very easy drive. I would recommend this hotel, but not at $120/night. I would not pay more than $80/night.
