Beautiful peaceful balcony view, nice for sitting outside in 25c weather studying, lounge was also scenic with large glass windows. Kitchen had all necessary cooking items, I only used the kettle for tea & soup. I was there for 2 in class sessions on 2 Saturdays in a row. Third weekend of September it was peaceful to study on Friday eve & I gave 5 stars for everything, I had a room at the end of the hall near the lounge. But this last Friday night/Saturday of September was a noisy eve, all night because of home coming... I only gave 4 stars for this stay because your staff gave me a room near the kitchen & elevator, with lots of talking & doors closing after midnight & I got woken up several times & I had to get up at 6am for an 8am class at Western University. I asked the girl at the desk when I checked in if this was a quiet room away from the excess noise & she said yes... no it wasn't... all the students had rooms at the end of the hall by the lounge but they were gathering near the elevator & talking loudly late at night. So I didn't sleep much... anyway, I survived. I like the hotel for the nature & peacefulness. It is clean & tidy also with friendly staff, I recommend it for affordability & a self serve clean kitchen!

I made the mistake of opening the patio door to the balcony. It was full of cobwebs and bugs. We had a stinkbug problem for the 2 days we were there (either coming in from the patio door or from the window shaker air condition - gaps around the edging. The building felt like an old age home.

Best Beautiful Stay!

I had a room with a kitchenette. Walking to my room they have a light brown carpet and it didn’t have a stain anywhere. Room was immaculate, windows open. Nice size fridge, dishwasher and about 3’ of counter. Nice soft sheets, all white even the comforter. Again no stains on the carpet. The grounds are beautiful. They have a retirement residence on the property and they have their own raised gardens. I talked with one lady one day. I seen them walking their dogs and were always very friendly. I highly recommend this property! My husband is in the hospital which was a 15 min. walk. (I have short legs) I stayed 5 days.
