"Briefly:\n- Not fancy, but certainly decent enough\n- GREAT location (near metro stop, walkable to grocery stores and other things)\n- Excellent staff\n\nI would stay here again, if I was by myself (I'm not sure my girlfriend would cotton to it). I know, giving it three stars make it seem like a bad review, but it's not - this is a very solid three star place. It's not fancy - in fact, the rooms are a bit-run down - but they're clean enough, and the bed is fine, and the shower works - what do you want from a cheap hotel?\n\nOn top of which, the staff is GREAT. When I checked in there was a problem with the Expedia-made reservation; the guy at the desk called Expedia, worked it out, and upgraded my room. When I was checking out, at an unholy 3:30 am, the (different) guy at the desk called a taxi at 3am to make sure one would be there on time, called again at 3:30 to make sure it was on it's way, and generally treated me great.\n\nPlus, it's just a block and a half from a metro stop on the coveted green line, and there are grocery stores and two indoor malls within a couple of blocks walking distance, so you can easily shop to fill the pantry in each room.\n\nOh, and the rooms are solid, with thick walls - there was a large Inuit (or first nations, if you prefer) family with a bunch of kids staying in the room right next to mine, and I never heard them through the walls."^^ .
