Next time I ask for a room on the third or fourth floor spare me the perfunctory response, especially when the place is deserted on a Saturday night. Plus the shower water pressure is low enough to be talked about. Nonetheless, the rooms are comfortable, housekeeping does a good job and the buffet breakfast is good. Plus you’re on Queens university campus which is a nice touch if your kid goes there.

Nice stay but a few updates would make it awesome!

Nice building and location. Staff were very friendly. Room was large and lots of room for our stuff. Updates needed though. The TV is about 20 years old and not anywhere near smart with access to streaming apps. Bed wasn’t great and the mattress needs to be flipped or turned as we both had depressions and I woke up with a sore back. Bathroom was pretty dated too, but clean. Gym was functional but could use a refresh too. There was a fitness poster on the wall from 1985.

Charming hotel

Our hotel room was comfortable. It was low season during our stay and the hotel was near empty which made our stay very quiet and peaceful. The bed was firm and comfortable, but the in-room furnace was quite noisy and ran all the time (no automatic mode where it would shut down when the room was warm enough). The included breakfast was absolutely fantastic with awesome service! Would highly recommend this hotel.
