We checked in- the lobby was not maintained...quit dirty. Once we got to our room I opened up the curtains and there was a dirty pair of socks and part of a wine cork. This hotel was recommended to me and I am not sure why. It was very dated. Very dirty. Overall not a good experience at all. Will not be staying here again.

Good place to stay if you want to be on Whyte with easy access to the area. Otherwise would not recommend. Parking is not great, seems a bit insecure, and is paid. Breakfast also paid.
