A/c unit was not working so we baked over night. Cream for coffee was sour. No couch only 2 chairs which smelled horrible of smoke. Towels are worn out. We feel that this a room for “Expedia” guests. Won’t be back
this hotel is very convenient if you are shopping or enjoying or visiting any of the restaurants/bars in the area, or have to go to the U of A hospital. We like the proximity of it to all of these places.

Thank you Christa for fabulous review and feedback. We hope to see you again.
They did not clean the bathroom of my room, used bath mat, some buds parking stub, open shampoo bottles in the bathroom.
Noisy location by several bars.
I would never consider staying there again.

Hello Jonathan, sorry for the housekeeping issues. Your feedback is essential and has been shared with the appropriate Managers.
access from parking garage was not very easy - i had my partner who was on crutches - we thought there would be same level access, instead it was down and up many stairs.
Thank you Chris for the amazing review, we look forward to your next visit.

The location is unique. I like the design and ambience. The surrounding area is dirty and loud. And little things matter, like providing only one bottle of water in our room on our arrival when there are two of us staying there.

An older hotel with charm. Quiet, comfortable beds, and very clean. It's a great spot for wandering Whyte Avenue, lots of dining options nearby, including within the hotel itself.

Quaint little hotel without a restaurant to serve breakfast, so if you don't want to eat in the morning, this place is for you.

Thank you Ron for the feedback. We actually have a restaurant called Ampersand 27. My apologies if this was not communicated with you upon your arrival.
The serves was exhalent, location was prefect for me.

Was woken up by the police at 1 am knocking on all the doors of our floor asking to come into room to look for someone of interest. Very disturbing and ruined my sleep

Hello Duane, we are so sorry for the issues this particular evening was not our normal Saturday night .
Great location. Staff and service were great. Location is good for shops and restaurants but by 11pm it gets very noisy with people racing cars down Whyte and lots of broken bottles each morning.
Great area of Edmonton but parking is two blocks away and the system is poorly explained i.e. no parking slip to put on dash and then you wonder whether you are supposed to pay or NOT! Had to ask twice. Also had to ask about the VIP perk.

Very good boutique hotel in the heart of old Scona. Walking distance to many restaurants and shops. Staff were very accommodating and were able to offer me a quiet room not facing Whyte Ave. However, the parkade and outdoor stairwell was relatively isolated and I felt nervous using it at night after dinner. From inside the hotel, the above ground pedway leading to the outdoor stairwell was hard to find. I was directed to a side exit that led outside to a back alley. I would stay here again with friends but not as a solo traveller.

Very convenient being right on Whyte Avenue. Lots of unique shops, restaurants, etc. Staff was very accommodating and helpful. Beds are comfortable, and we found it very quiet.

Love the Whyte Ave location, lots of cool stores and great restaurants within walking distance. Building is a landmark in the area, lived in but still quite a nice place!

Thank you Shayne for the wonderful review and feedback!
The facilities were sup-par. The hot water in the shower took a long time to work. The instructions for the coffee machine were unclear. The overall quality of bathroom amenities was below average.
