Staff was extremely friendly and polite. Hotel is in a great location. The rooms facing Whyte Ave. can be a bit noisy at night -- ask for a room facing away from Whyte Ave. Room was clean and bathroom had a nice walk-in shower. Breakfast at Ampersand (located in the hotel) was delicious.

Came with a group of my friends while takin a trip down Whyte. Staff were amazing and rooms are very nice. The only u fortunate part was that there was actually a millepede (or centipede I don’t know I’ve never seen one before) on our pillow! Luckily the staff of course offered us a whole new room for it but we did not get any accommodations or discounts for that happening.
