I was welcomed by a very nice host, and given lots of information about my stay. My stay was brief as I had an appointment early the next morning at nearby hospital. The hotel is a repuposed nursing home, so you need to expect as much. My room was with half bath and queen bed. My bed was comfortable, the room very warm and bathroom was perfect for a one night stay; shower was available across the hall, dorm room style. I love vintage quirks like metal cabinet in bathroom, and built in shelving in closet. The room smelled clean like a hospital, carpet was clean, as well as the bathroom and bed.

We had a room with two single beds and a full bathroom. Our room had a small TV, we didn't use it and no fridge. It is minutes from University Hospital. This is a great place to stay if you have to be at the hospital. The room was small but very clean. The people very friendly and eager to help. The price was great. We will stay there when we need to go back to the hospital. Actually we'd stay there no matter the reason we were there. I read some of the reviews and it's hard to believe it's the same place we stayed at.

Not trying to disrespect but interior door handle was broken, almost no plugs in unit, bed sounded like in came from adult movie scene with the squeaking constant, and heater didn't work... But was clean

DO NOT STAY HERE!!! This was the WORST place I have ever attempted to stay at!! The photos on the website are NOT AT ALL a true representaion of how it looks! It is located on the second floor of an odd building, with a rude receptionist positioned in the center of the hall. The room was small with a dirty bed and strong smoke smell. It had a back door to a joint balcony, which was unlocked. There was no front door lock from the inside of the room. The outdated joint floor washroom had a enormous hole in the wall that was completely exposed. It was a very scary and dodgy accommodation and we

You get what you pay for. The closet and drawers stunk of something, like some strong disinfectant. Couldn't put my clothes in there. Put my laptop in one day and it picked up the smell. The curtain had brown stains that looked like blood and the dead squished spider in the shower room just sits there like a wall decoration. And my bread, don't know what happened to it (probably thrown away cos I didnt put a label) ya my bad but I'm still not happy about it. The vending machine(I think that's where the noise came from) is so loud you can hear it in the rooms nearby. Very nice receptionists friendly

The room was nice and clean. There was no toiletry in the shower and I found it weird that there was a coffee pot but no coffee provided to make it. So if you are going to book it bring your own shampoo etc. Don't expect morning coffee either
