generally positive stay

great location friendly staff old carpets thin windows
the location was great. it was a short walk to the beach at english bay.. i really enjoyed the easy access. the staff at the front desk were cute and friendly whenever i needed assistance.
the hotel could use some upgrades. i noticed chipping paint and old carpets, feel a bit dated.. some updated charging ports near the bed would be convenient. the windows were old and thin, so there was often wet fog on them.
