Disliked: Cleanliness
Staff were friendly enough. The room was not very clean, shower was dirty in bottom corners, what appeared to be an old shrivelled orange peel was on floor, windows were very dirty. Was noisy with the pub downstairs but also was night of fireworks, so it's hard to say whether this is the norm. Convenient location, very close to English Bay, with a lot of food options close by, the pub brunch was really good. Not the hotel's fault but Expedia listed the location as having a pool, which it does not, it appears that Expedia has updated this now. The room was pricey for what it was, so not sure I'd choose to stay again.

The location of this hotel is great, right on the beach. Do keep in mind there are a few bars on this street so we had a lot of outside noise. The hotel itself is quite run down and our room was outdated- the toilet couldn’t flush properly I had to open the cover and manually pull the lever up to flush each time. The room was also quite dirty- dirt in the shower and the bathroom. ALSO there was a MOUSE in our room!!!!! They did handle it well and moved us immediately but once you see a mouse you never feel safe again!!!!! I wasn’t offered a comped room or anything. The staff is friendly but the hotel itself needs updating urgently. We will not be coming back to this hotel after everything.
