I was upgraded to the Stratford, abd my review is relative to that structure. Advertised as a "new sister structure" is obviously not new because of the location, and poorly renovated I'd add. My main point of disconfort was the heating system: old radiators with noisy hissing pressure valves, make difficult to sleep and they overheat the room, because the shut off knob doesn't work (at least in my room). Good position, nice personnel, a bit of noise at night from Powell St. but it's the nature of a central location. However silent double windows would be expected in a "newly renovated" facility.
