I stayed here April 25, 2025. I don't agree with the hegative reviews at all. I booked a single queen-bed room for the "American weekend" (I'm from Victoria) because I can't afford the local hotel rates. My check-in experience was stellar. As I got to my room, a cleaner was kneeling, scrubbing the doorframe. Another was kneeling and vacuuming all the stairs. My room was immaculate and spotless. The bed was nicer than my own bed; the pillows too. The bathrooms (there are several on each floor) were sparkling clean. Yes, the walls are a bit thin, so bring earplugs. For the quietest stay, book the 3rd floor (I was on the 2nd). No, they don't post fake photos, here are my own photos of my room, the shared kitchen and common room. If you need a budget place to stay and don't mind sharing bathrooms, stay here, the location couldn't be better. I would definitely stay again. FYI, no elevator, so you have to be okay with stairs. They also have a laundry room.
