Room was a little dirty, as well as my window and blinds were broken and would not shut. Being on the first floor this was not the greatest. Other than that, solid stay for the price

Dear Knox, I was staying in room 420 & my name is Clifford Ulmer. I checked out early this morning, Tuesday, but found the doors locked and no security guard on duty, contrary to what I was told at check in. I was able to exit the building and I put the keys in the mailbox outside the front door. Please acknowledge that you received the keys so I don't get charged for them. Thanks. Clifford Ulmer

Student residence in downtown Toronto. Bargain accommodation convenient to everything in the area. Two 'watch-for' items: 1) bring towels & toiletries and 2) no air conditioning. Quiet, clean and very affordable option for an expensive city.

This is a great stay for solo travelers who aren't looking for many amenities. I was able to walk to most of the places I wanted to go (some 30-40 minutes but I didn't mind). The only thing was the condition of the bathroom was not great. It was often a bit flooded and visibly dirty. However, I would still recommend this for a more low maintenance traveler.

It was the perfect place to stay for my budget, to attend a conference and have a simple but attractive and comfortable place to sleep.

Great location and very affordable. The rooms had character and felt safe. Be prepared for it to be bit noisy because of the old character of the building.

Quiet place I've got a problem at check-in with the payment and they were super understanding. Charming and lovely place. Nothing much but for a few days and for the price it was worth it. Near tram station and 10 mins walk from the Queens park subway station. Not so far from the Eaton centre by walk. Food at 5 to 10 minutes by walk. Just one thing I didn't like was if you wash on the shower near the window people outside might see you because the certains isn't wide enough. But, end of June, there weren't many people so I only used it 1 time out of 5 and it was only because someone flooded the other one(I was on the 1st Floor on the west door)
