| - I got a really good rate of $89 through a travelzoo offer which included wifi and a buffet breakfast. Considering I was staying for 6 nights the price was right. I can't really imagine paying much more though: This place ain't the Ritz!
Pros
- the room is clean and comfortable
- the pillow are actually quite nice
- you get a kitchenette with fridge/freezer, stove, dishes and microwave
- even if you have to pay for wifi it's $5 per day
- the buffet has eggs, meats, potatoes, pastries, yogurts, cereals, etc
- they have a roof top pool that I didn't check out
- free newspapers at breakfast
- good location right near McGill and close to many stores and restaurants
- plenty of closet space
Cons
- the rooms need an upgrade. Paint's chipping, carpet's buckling, etc
- the staff are ok, not a lot of big genuine smiles (although the waiter on my last morning was very sweet compared to the women that worked the rest of the week)
- the internet cut out A LOT which is annoying when you're trying to work
- no wine glasses in the kitchen (they had a corkscrew though). Not a big deal but...
- no recycling program!!! NOTHING. Even the towels were replaced every day.
- the chicken Caesar I ordered through room service was doused in dressing which covered the bland taste of the roast chicken.
- my bathroom taps could either be held on or blast out water. No gentle water stream.
So I'd probably stay there again if I was on a long stay and got that good price again but I'll be checking out what else is available in the price with kitchenettes first.
