Very comfortable beds, free parking and a pretty short drive from the downtown area. Not a lot in terms of view or ambience but very comfortable place to stay - I was there getting my university student settled so just needed a clean and comfortable place to sleep. I would go there again

Staff was lovely to chat with during check-in/check-out. Some nice updates to the room and lobby, very modern look. I enjoyed how quiet the room was. It's nice to be able to sleep without all the noise that typically comes from hotel heating/cooling units etc. As a downside, what i noticed was the odd smell in the elevator and hallway. As well as the overall cleanliness of the room and the linens - room for improvement on those points. But overall, a nice place to stay.

Hi Sara,Thank you for the great rating and for providing feedback! We are sorry to hear about the smell, we will have to investigate as this is the first we are hearing about it. It is currently quite fresh smelling in the halls since we had the carpets cleaned this week. Thank you for taking notice of our modern look and mention how quiet your stay was!We hope to host you again soon!

Hockey Tournament weekend and the common room was outside my door. Very loud and partying in the halls. I was charged a $25 fee for my dog but they were allowed leave garbage around in different places. They suggested that I contact Expedia for a refund and when I did the hotel refused to give a refund.

All the staff, we met, were all very friendly. Everything was nice, bright and clean. The Strata Hotel welcomed my 70lb dog, even giving her a gift bag! The one and most unfortunate thing is that it is not wheelchair friendly. My husband found going through the doors, in the basement, challenging.

The room wasn't ready until after 2 hours of the check in time. No kettle for tea despite room description of coffee and tea making facilities. Coffee making machine was really dusty and not enough coffee and cups. Thin walls, I was awoken by neighbours. The heating/AC was not working. Toilet roll was almost finished on our arrival. Chrome cast for TV was not working and staff just gave us a techs phone number to call. We spent a lot of money for our stay and for the cost we were expecting better. The receptionists were friendly but the facilities were disappointing.

Overall, this hotel offered good value for the price. But there was an overwhelming scent (particularly in the hallways and elevators), which I imagine would be very problematic for people with scent allergies. And while the TVs were big-screen, the resolution/definition was so poor that it was like watching television in the’70s. Both of these things could be changed pretty easily for improvement.
