The hype
Great staff and breakfast, but the rooms are showing their age and then some.

Kāpēc cilvēki to mīl
- Surprisingly robust free breakfast with waffles and eggs
- Staff that genuinely tries to fix the building's shortcomings
- Prime location near Riverdale Village shopping and Mercy Hospital
Ātrs apskats: A tired property that relies heavily on its friendly staff to distract you from the stained carpets and thin walls.
Pārskatīts: @thattravelingchick: I stayed here with my dog Poika for a vet trip. It’s a solid budget option if you have points to burn. The carpets have seen better days, but the bed was comfy, the neighborhood felt safe for walks, and the staff were super chill about the dog.

Reality check
The 'newly renovated' marketing claims don't match the worn carpets and peeling trim many guests encounter.
- You're in town for a youth sports tournament and just need a bed
- You prioritize a hot breakfast over modern decor
- You're traveling with a pet (friendly policy, reasonable fee)
Tīrība un apkope
5
- Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Some days it's fine, other days they miss trash or leave dust bunnies.
- Bathroom hygiene: The biggest weak point. Watch for hair in the tub, mold in grout lines, and peeling caulk.
- Maintenance: Showing age. Peeling paint, scuffed furniture, and loose fixtures are common.
- Linens & towels: Towels can be thin and scratchy; sheets are usually clean but check for stray hairs.
- Odors & scents: Frequent complaints of musty smells or lingering smoke in 'non-smoking' rooms.

Insider padomi
- ✨
The 'partner health club' access mentioned in some listings is often a better bet than the small on-site gym—ask the front desk for a pass.
- ✨
Breakfast ends promptly; get there by 8:30 AM on weekends to ensure the hot food hasn't been raided by sports teams.
- ✨
Check your heating/AC unit immediately upon entry; if it rattles, ask to switch rooms before unpacking.
5 lietas, kas jāzina pirms doties
💡The side doors sometimes don't latch securely—double check them if you park in the back.
💡Water pressure in the shower is surprisingly decent, even if the fixture looks dated.
💡The 'business center' is basically a computer in the lobby—don't plan on running a conference call there.
💡Vending machines are often understocked; head to the nearby gas station for snacks instead.
💡Housekeeping might miss the spot behind the bathroom door—check it before you hang your towel.
