The hotel has all the potential to be wonderful but is actuallh just tired and worn. It's clearly in need of updates throughout, and I understand passing this off as 'historic' but, it's just old. Definitely start with updating windows to open to allow fresh air in. The musty/curry smell in our room was almost unbearable. The room furniture is mismatched and cheap looking & bathroom is stuffy with cracked, cheap looking tiles. Points for excellent service, everyone was kind and helpful. Also great location in between Canada Life Centre & the Forks. Need to add free breakfast + mini fridge in rooms. Book this hotel only if the price is right, not for a luxury experience or a special occasion. It's a 2-3 star hotel. Also, they still have Christmas decor up at Easter?
