Friendly staff. Stayed for a night due to work arrangements in the city.
Delightful design, quite a few of the rooms have their door within about 5 feet of the lovely indoor pool they have in this hotel.
Only gripes - A/C was extremely loud, Wall Sockets were flimsy and my chargers keep falling out of them, and the lightbulb in my shower had no cover to protect from water... a little dangerous?
Other than that it was a very pleasant hotel, continental breakfast was okay as well too. Good selection on it. Didn't get a chance to try the spa or thai restaurant (Big party was happening at the time so the lobby was crowded). Thankfully there were a large section of restaurants within walking distance and the C Train station was nearby also. The gym facilities were excellent as well too for being free.
Definitely would consider staying there again if the need arises. -

I attended functions two nights in a row at this hotel and was situated in a lower level conference room. The location is convenient because it's central and I had no issues finding parking. The decor is average (nothing fancy but clean and tidy). The lower level ladies restroom could use a few more stalls, as there are only two and the banquet was entertaining about 80 women.
The food served was okay but the assortment was poor and I don't know if it's because the hotel menu has limited selection for functions or if it was the choice of the host. Either way, one type of salad, one type of dressing and one main (I'm talking pasta with sauce one night, a noodle dish the other) is pretty disappointing. In such cases, it shouldn't be called a banquet because most of us have a preconceived notion about what you may be eating. The deserts were tasty but it was just an assortment of squares, the same both nights. Again, not sure who should be at the receiving end of the finger pointing for a mediocre experience.
Overall, there's truly nothing wrong with this venue but it's not going to knock the socks off of an adult, particularly one with some expectations. -

Another weird little place to stay....
First, underground parking is not connected to the building.
Second, there are doors to the outside on the main floor, but you can't use them.
Third, there really isn't any room service, but the thai restaurant on location is pretty darn good. (They supposedly just prepare all the burgers in advance, so you can't get a burger without a bun! He recommended the Thai Food because it was fresh - he was right, it was good).
Fourth, front desk staff are slightly terse, but efficient.
Condition of the suite:
Supposedly went smoke free a year ago, but smelled of smoke still, so luckily I could open the "Emergency Exit Only Alarmed" door in my room, because (guess what) the door wasn't alarmed!
Water-damaged roof tiles in bathroom, bathtub is grotty.
BUT, overall, the space is weirdly satisfying. The room wasn't big, but had a king-sized bed (the AAA discounted rate). The room I had wasn't facing the pool, so was relatively quiet.
I really don't know how to rate this place - I think it would be okay for one night, or for a group with families, but it seemed like it was trying to fit into a space that it shouldn't try to fit in.
Stayed February 2007, traveled on business) -

Shame on my AMEX booking service who told me this was a 3.5 star hotel. The place is decent and convenient to everything. The spa in the middle looked a bit shady, but to my dismay it was a completely legitimate spa. There's a Thai restaurant there which is weird, but I heard from multiple sources it's really good despite the appearance.
1.) Friendly staff
2.) Comfy beds
3.) I didn't get murdered in my sleep -

I stayed in Quality Inn recently and it's not bad. I was under the impression that it was a hotel but it is actually more of a motel. It is quiet, private and comfortable. It is actually an older building that has been renovated.
The room was nice 2 beds, a tv and a bathroom. It was clean and nicely renovated. They also have an indoor swimming pool and hot tub that are surrounded and overlooked by the guest rooms. They offer free breakfast from 6am-9pm which is OK, I didn't expect it to be anything special so I wasn't disappointed. They have a Thai restaurant inside where I ordered soup from one night and it wasn't bad. The restaurant has a patio type window that looks out at the pool so it's kind of a nice setting. They also offer free wireless internet.
Not the best place but it was good for a short stay. I imagine it gets many guests that are on business trips.
