Unique approach for managing the property and guests, emails and access codes, one person on site. Has its benefits (operating costs and extension stay rates?) but downside is feeling anonymous and impersonal. Not a deal breaker by any means, just conveys an indifference on the part of management. I'm sure organic humans would emerge fast if rules were broken.
I appreciate the attempt at superficial hip and progressiveness with cheap but affordable furniture, fixtures and decor, certainly better than most hotels I've had to stay during the course of my work travels. It was a lot of space for my one person. View wasn't bad, kitchen useful, and I slept well in a comfy bed. Stay with another person or two so you hear less of your own echos while speaking on the phone or listening to radio/TV. The gimmicky "chef inspired" cafe on the bottom floor was friggin overbearingly noisy and not somewhere to enjoy eating whatever pricey chef-inspired food they may have on the menu. I was repelled by the loud music and talking noise generated in its confined space.
However, I'd probably stay again for easy /close access to the GO station transport, quick Lyft or transit ride to Mohawk College, decent coffee at Detur Cafe on John St. S. and good food menu and quiet atmosphere (no friggin TVs or rado or music, just quiet conversation) atBronzies Italian restaurant on James St. S.
