Down Town Economy Hotel

TRAVELLING ON BUSINESS IN TODAYS ECONOMIC CLIMATE, THIS HOTEL PROVIDES COMFORT AND AFFORDABILITY IN A CONVENIENT DOWN TOWN LOCATION.

Good room for money

Well located hotel, we knew that the rooms are very small, so this was not a surprise. Hotel is really downtown and just around the corner of the metro convention center, as we had a meeting there, just perfect. Elevators are an issue, don't be late in the morning or forget something in the room, it will take hours to get up and back down again. Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful to find a nice room, looking to the front (more sun, but also more noisy), other rooms are pretty dark, especially if your room is on a lower floor. Still, good value for money at this hotel if you are aware that the rooms are really small.

Great value, great location

I stayed here while attending a conference at the Metro Convention Center. Great location. Rooms are a bit small, but well appointed, and I was really only in the room to sleep and take a shower. Comfortable beds. Pleasant service by staff -- arranging for a car to the airport, storing luggage. Right across the street from the Fairmont where I attended a number of receptions. Worked great for me. And the cost was right.

Strathcona Hotel "Not Worth the Expense"

The Deluxe Queen room was extrodinarly small. The room service food was a lot to be desired. One of the front lobby reception representive was very rude.

Great location - tiny rooms

Ask for a view. With alot of rooms available, they still stuck me in the end room on the lowest floor oerlooking the alleyway of trashcans.

Great room & location for the money

very convienent to convention center great staff, very clean room, would stay there again & highly recommend thi ssmall hotel

Excellent Value

While my room was small (typical older downtown hotel), it was an excellent value, don't think it could have been closer to the downtown action on Front St. Parking wasn't bad (I used the one right next to the hotel). I didn't experience "noise" as some reviewers had commented. My room # was 621... all in all: GREAT VALUE

Too noisy for me but otherwise good hotel

The hotel was conveniently located a short walk from the convention center. Two problems with the hotel--when I 1st checked in, the room I had did NOT lock so ultimately I had to be given another room that did. We were all surprised about that problem, which was resolved within 30 minutes after I first reported it. My other major problem was it was WAY too noisy for me to sleep through the night (though it could be readily solved by earplugs, which I can't tolerate). I could hear the street cleaning machine and what sounded like metal on metal in early morning hours, though I did not have a room facing the street. There were "light leaks" through the wooden shutters and the bottom of the door, but those weren't as irritating as the noise. The room was comfortable enough and they allowed free printing of boarding passes for hotel guests. The hotel staff was polite and helped make my stay comfortable, including providing a travel sewing kit upon request. The room had a ironing board and iron (though I didn't use it).

Greta location, quiet room, friendly staff

Cons: The room has only the bate essential: bed, bath, TV, coffee maker. If you need to iron your own clothes, warm or refrigerate your own food it, and relax on a comfortable chair, you will be disappointed. Pros: The room is clean (spotless!) and very quiet, even when the hotel is full. The staff is available and efficient. The location is outstanding for both the businessman (5-minute walk to the convention center) and the tourist (3-minute walk from the Union subway station, many shops nearby).

Good bargain

Pretty good bargain for a hotel in the middle of the financial district. The rooms were clean, furniture relatively new. No parking on premises, though there is an underground lot right next door, but at an extra charge and hotel doesn't offer any discount.
