Overall the stay was okay and comfortable and had what we needed for the night. There was no reception on site but the janitor happened to be in the back and was able to contact owner (?), get our room key and send him a photo of our ID (kinda seemed like a sketchy process). The room is in an older building that had public access from downtown. Not soundproof at all as it’s regular wood doors along a hallway. But overall okay considering the low cost of the room and last minute booking.

Terrible service
Bad service. Had to pay for parking even though it's not a hotel. Wasn't told that only credit cards are accepted, and that Debit Visas would be declined which is the most bizarre thing I've experienced as I pre-paid for the room with it. We paid cash and they didn't even have change.

I liked the proximity to restaurants/cafes/venues. I liked the quietness and the very comfortable bed. Very convenient & safe parking for an additional payment of $15. The handwash/bodywash/shampoo would be preferable in pump action containers. The present ones were hopeless.

the photo shown on adverts is not really the lodge, it is the house at the back of the main building. This building is old and in need of serious renovation. .All the linen was very good and clean. I got the cheapest unit I could find as I was on my own and only needed a bed to sleep in for a few hours. So it served its purpose.

Room did not look like image - dark and pokey and absolutely no ventilation in building or room which had jammed windows. 2 thin pillows on bed. Wifi not reliable- rang duty manager twice- no one in reception from around 6 pm so no one to help as we wanted to change to a bigger room. (probably owner) who passed the buck. Poor security as outer corridors open and accessible to the public all night. Yucky hair behind loo, no hand soap- we did not use the shower as it looked yuck. Would rather stay in a clean safe youth hostel.

We did not stay here and would like our money back. The man who could not speak English showed me three rooms to choose from all of which we very dirty. Scuffs on every wall, carpets ripped and not vacuumed. Each spa bath had stains, scuffs one had paint splatters all over the bottom. Other had dirt. One rooms bed spread had stains on it. I took some photos as evidence. My children age 6 and 4 wanted to go home immediately after being very exciting about a night in the city having a mini holiday. Very disappointed, disgusted it was horrid. I would like a full refund as we did not stay and told the host all of the above. Please make contact to discuss this further.

Lacking Security
Conviently located for St Janes theatre but security totally lacking. Although a dead lock on front door off the street, no key or swipe card provided. Same with smoke door on ground floor so anyone can walk in off the street and have access to rooms. It looked like the door to my room had an attempt at crowbar entry! No checkin staff available. There was a compressor/pump that "kicked in" regularly throughout the night. Very noisy. Drafty room with just a sheet and light duvet on the bed. I slept in my clothes to keep warm.
