Terrible stay!!

Upon arrival at our room we instantly smelt smoke in the room once inside we found burn marks on the carpet like a cigarette had been dropped in multiple spots. We complained and were moved to a different room down the hall and only realized in the morning that room had NO towels. At 230 am we were awaken to the fire alarm and when we called the lobby they told us smoke on the 6th floor and we needed to come to the lobby. This hotel obviously struggles with the non smoking policy. Also it seems to be located in a very scetchy area. Will NEVER stay here again.

Snow outside the building was not cleared. I was surprised that my car was able to make it through and into the underground parking. Even the following morning the snow was not cleared. It was a safety hazard and completely unacceptable.

I didn’t like that it was hard for me to get much sleep because of the noisy occupants that we could hear throughout the night, in the hallways on the floor that we were on. I also didnt like that i found use tissue paper under the covers in a bed that was supposed to be freshly made. Also as i was loooking for my hair cover ( which had drop down on the side of the bed) I saw 3 empty milk containers under the bed which indicated that the carpet may not have been vacuum. I must mention that the cost of the room was quite high but the reason I chose that hotel was because ir was close to an office where my friend had an early appointment the next day. However i must mention that the front desk staff was quite accomodating and professional on my entrance and departure. I was also disappointed that for the price i paid through Expedia, the hotel was misrepresented.

The room and service overall was average. It was the homeless peipke around the hotelbthatbwas disturbing. Checking in at night alone, with loitering homeless people just hangingbaround smoking, eating on the stairs was disturbing. I did not feel safe. Also therebwas major construction and this should have been mentioned in the add and a discount given. Out of town guests arent aware.also i did not know parking was extra.

Although the hotel itself was clean inside and relatively safe, the outside was kind of scary. There was a drug deal going down in front of the doors and a lot of sketchy people hanging around the front of the hotel from next door. The workers were all very nice and helpful and couldn't help the situation going on next door.

When we checked in, neither television worked. I called the front desk to inquire, and there was no answer after 12 rings. When I went to the front desk, both staff members were eating dinner - a point made very clear to me by one of the staff members. When I inquired about the televisions not working, he simply said, "It should be up and running again soon." The full breakfast advertised is your run of the mill cereal and oatmeal with some microwaveable breakfast sandwiches available as well. Upon checking out, the staff member refused to produce any kind of paperwork as I had used Expedia to reserve the room. If I travel to London, ON again, I will likely choose a different hotel.

The hotel needs to add better security to this location so guests feel more comfortable upon arrival. The underground parking lot has a horrible stench of urine. while walking to the room the hallway also has a faint smell too. Guests were also being sent to rooms that had not yet been cleaned by housekeeping. The property needs to deal with several issues to increase customer experience satisfaction.

Booked the room for an overnite stay, but got a call a few days before to let me know that renovations had made me room unavailable & I was offered a complimentary upgrade to a suite at No extra charge. The suite was clean, spacious & comfortable, as well as warm & well heated. Staff were pleasant & wonderful too. Definitely recommend this hotel & I will definitely stay here again!
