I chose this hotel as it was well located between the homes of my brother and sister on a recent visit to Edmonton. An average rating of 4.4 stars on google led me to believe it would be fine. It wasn’t. Getting off the elevator to our floor, we look up to see a gaping hole in the ceiling. It remained Un-repaired for the four days we were there. Our “deluxe” king room was a very ordinary room, with scuffed furniture, dark carpeting of unknown cleanliness, and too long curtains that looked as though someone had walked across the bottom with dirty shoes. The bathroom was dated, with a scuffed and chipped vanity. The towels were horrible. They were probably white at one time, however after years and years of use they were grey at best and thin and thread bare! Housekeeping was minimal. On our first day, upon returning in late afternoon the room had not been made up. We found housekeepers and got extra towels and that was it. We were out a long time the next day and the room was attended to. The neighborhood has changed greatly since I lived in Edmonton. Fine if one is going to be part of a bar and club scene, and won’t mind the daytime tawdriness of the area. Not great otherwise. The self-parking ($22/day) is in a lot two blocks away. The worst part of the whole stay though was to find I had been directed to a third-party booking site from the hotel’s website. Comparing my emailed booking receipt to the printed receipt I received on check-out I was charged a whopping $318.96 extra to book on-line. The woman on the desk was unable to explain this, and a follow-up call from home did not get me much further, although the person I spoke did say I was not supposed to have received the printed receipt on checkout. No kidding, it showed charges of $579.21 vs my pre-payment of $898.17! The printed receipt showed the Company name of Agoda Company Pte. LTD. They are a subsidiary of Booking Holdings, the head company of others like Booking.com, Kayak, Priceline, Agoda, and OpenTable. I suggest you avoid all these companies.
I wanted to love it.

This past week, I had the opportunity to stay at this hotel. The location, was ideal. Stepping out of the lobby, are quirky shops and restaurants. My initial impression upon entering the hotel was incredibly positive. The lobby is genuinely beautiful, well-furnished and set an expectation of luxury and attention to detail that, unfortunately, was not maintained beyond that initial space. When I think of a "boutique" hotel, I expect well-maintained spaces with attention to detail. Here, it felt more like an aspiration than a reality. The hallway leading to my room was dingy. The furniture in the room was vintage, but not in a chic way. There were noticeable nicks, scuffs, and even some outright damage that spoke of neglect rather than character. The bed was comfortable enough, and the linens were good. The bathroom, while functional and clean, didn't offer any surprises or elevated touches. It was perfectly adequate but lacked the sparkle or thoughtful design you'd expect from a hotel billing itself as a boutique experience, the sink area was also scuffed and worn. The soaps and such were scarce, three tiny bottles, I had to go to the lobby to request more. I was seeking a true boutique experience and spent accordingly, but I’m left feeling a bit shortchanged. It’s a shame, because with a little more care and a proper renovation of the room, this hotel could be great.
