Before we arrived, we had read negative responses about criminality of the surrounding area. The hotel is situated 3 minutes walk from the heart of Chinatown with restaraunts and close to Queen street with bars and clubs. It is easy to access mostly all attractions by foot. The kitchenette in the studio we lived in is clean and equipped with all necessary devices and dishes.

I only got a room here becuause I waited to long to book fot New Years Eve....Very sketchy area. When left hotel around 8pm to go to diner there was about 15 cops looking for guy with gun...and last found out the 1st murder of 2011 was minutes away...also a good freind was parked down the street and her car windows were smashed and property stolen.

You will need a $200 deposit...they don't tell you this at anytime pre or post booking.

As others as said...this is a low income appatment building and they try and rent the rooms which aren't rented out.

I WILL NEVER STAY AGAIN....WHEN THEY ASK FOR A DEPOSIT FOR A ALARM CLOCK OR HAIR DRYIER YOU KNOW ITS NOT A GOOD/SAFE PLACE.....FOR LESS $ YOU CAN STAY @ ISABELLA WHICH IS TEN TIMES BETTER

Stayed in June 2010 for 5 nights.Would have changed locations but the city was booked up - we even were looking for other paces where we would have paid more than double. Anyhow: the bathroom and kitchenette area seemed to be clean. The carpet looked not so clean - but vacuumed, at least. The beds felt like they had spent the better part of their life at a summer camp. Old window air conditioners were noisy. That all said, it is super inexpensive, in a decently safe part of town - which is a really interesting part of the city (Queen Street). Fridge worked fine and so did the internet. Would recommend only for those willing to have dorm room experience.

was there during july 2010.during second night got tok tok sound from A/C.On enquiry found out that water falling from A/c from room above.Had to change the room at 2 a.m.Otherwise alright.
