The hotel is in a great location on Whyte Ave, right in the middle of the action. Our room was clean and comfortable, with mini fridge and coffee maker. The hotel in general is a bit rundown and tired looking, however it is undergoing some renovation work which will bring it back to it’s glory days.

I really did like this property, but there was no notice about the renovations happening. Due to the renovations my allergies were awful and I could barely breathe most of my stay. I felt great when I was away from the building. My room was also downgraded after my payment, due to the renovations as well. They did make up for that by covering the cost of my parking which I really appreciated. One more small detail what that the A/C was not running in the building due to the time of year, although it was very hot in my room. They provided a fan for us to pick up at the front desk to help with that issue.

Good things first. Staff seemed nice and competent. The hotel is doing some needed renovations and the area is one of the best in Edmonton on lively Whyte Avenue. The hotel is dated. Just one elevator serving all guests and the gym while in a large room isn’t being taken care of well. Some machines not getting power. Weight stand had just three dumbbells in it. Had a decent stay though and hope renovations extend to the gym etc.
