Very nice hotel
Teresita, 1-night trip

Will stay here again!

This is a beautiful hotel in a central location. We loved the decor and furniture pieces in our room. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The adjoining restaurant is unique and a must-try while visiting.

Staff was super friendly and hotel was super clean.
Raquel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This unassuming hotel on the edge of the Tenderloin was spotlessly clean and comfortable, and a very good value for a no frills budget hotel. Easy check in, a friendly staff, and a good location close to public transit means that I will stay there again.
Roy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice place to sleep.

Friendly staff. Free bag storage. Small but clean room. Comfortable bed. A bit of street noise, but they do provide earplugs. Complimentary glass of wine upon check in. Breakfast snack with yoghurt, muffin and coffee available.

Was a delightful stay! They were all so lovely at the property and the room was cozy and perfect for my weekend stay! It’s centrally located to the Powell station. Some of the plugs in my room didn’t work but it was alright. A great hotel!

Shelly R, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

very uncomfortable.

I wish Hotels.com included a safety rating as part of their reviews. The neighborhood around the hotel felt extremely sketchy and unsafe to walk through — very uncomfortable overall. I think I heard gunshots on the street during the night we stayed. We couldn’t get any rest and ended up leaving for the airport at 4 a.m. It’s not necessarily the hotel’s fault, but I wouldn’t have chosen it if I’d known the area was this unsafe. Definitely not recommended for families.

Very good experience!!!! The hotel is amazing, clean, quiet, good service, friendly staff. Breakfast and coffee maker in the room was very important for me, as I travelled with two teenagers. Thank you, Bijou, I will be glad to stay there another time.
