“A Solid Budget Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 May 2007
2
people found this review helpful

A solid budget hotel focussing on the necessities of a good night's sleep.

General Room Condition: One king-bed room on second level included a microwave and a mini-fridge. The room was well-kept and clean. The washroom was clean but you could pull out the shower release mechanism if you pulled hard enough.

Staff: Very welcoming at front desk. Friendly demeanour and helpful attitude. Check-out was smooth and quick.

Location: Good location near the falls. 10 minute walk to the falls and 5 minute walk to most attractions in the area (casino, lundy's lane, clifton hill).

Rate: Reasonable compared to other budget hotels in the area.

General Comments: Consider this hotel if on a budget. If you want luxury, go with the Sheraton or other more pricey hotels.

“Yuck”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 June 2006
4
people found this review helpful

This is probably the first time that I've booked a hotel room without looking at Trip Advisor reviews - bad idea. The hotel looks nice from the outside, but the room was terrible. It wasn't clean, it had a strange odor, the air conditioner barely had any cool air coming out of it (it probably needed cleaning too!), there was no hot water in the shower, the beds were like slabs of stone, etc. For 82 dollars, I wasn't expecting the Ritz, but this place was one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed in.
Lesson learned - ALWAYS check Trip Advisor before booking a room.

“Left with flea bites”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 June 2006
4
people found this review helpful

You get what you pay for: For $60, you get:
- a shabby room;
-carpet you don't feel safe to walk barefoot on;
-showers that vary back and forth between scalding to icy;
-a view of a parking lot;
-a bed with body hair in the sheets (clearly not changed since the last guests); AND
-several flea/bedbug bites (after deciding it was best to sleep fully clothed in street clothes rather than let the nasty sheets touch any inch of bare skin, the critters still managed to find a way to my face and arm. NICE)
