Super easy check in, attached parking lot, parking pass, great space, wifi, cable TV, totally stocked kitchen with necessities, Keurig, coffee etc., and the location is the BEST! It has everything you need for the best price downtown! There's a album/book on the kitchen counter with info re: things to do, places to eat etc. It's very informative, very thoughtful and well put together. I didn't notice it until day 2 however.
The location is the best if you like to be walking distance from everything you need. There's a lot in the area but I'll highlight a few good spots to know.
Location:
On your block - Starbucks, Grocery Store
Up Smith St. - New Police Station, La Roca Lounge - DJ, Live music, closes 2am Thurs-Sat.
Across the street (Donald St.): Grocery store and breakfast spot.
Cross Street (Broadway St.) - Capital Bar & Grill + Robbins Donuts & Coffee on York St.
Next street over (Garry St.) - The Keg Steakhouse
Next Street over (Main St.)- The famous VJ's Drive Inn - Best burgers in town. I always have one when I'm in Da Peg! Try VJ's special and the regular cheeseburger.
You're also walking distance to Union Station and The Forks!
Notes:
-Need to know - AC vents out the window which leaves the window open. You can remove the vent and lock the window as you wish but good to learn that as soon as you arrive or before booking perhaps.
-Bathroom - The bathroom is super stocked, more than any other place I've seen. Very thoughtful of them, however my towel had a large stain, perhaps from bleach and the shower grout could have used a more thorough scrubbing.
-Security - the door has no secondary lock so anyone with a key can enter. More hotels are doing that now and perhaps it's for the property owners best interests.
-It is an older building but that's to be expected.
I hope my comments are helpful. I definitely booked this place because of the location, price and the reviews I read about the place. Regardless of my few notes, not only would I definitely stay again and recommend it to others but location wise, I'd buy the place! Janice was very responsive and a pleasure to deal with. Thank you!
