A good-value, well-located option with nicely maintained (if spartan) rooms of the student-accommodations variety. There's a range of configurations, from singles to five-bed rooms, plus shared, semiprivate or private bathrooms. Each room has a TV and mini-refrigerator and there are TV lounges and communal kitchens too. Rates include access to the YWCA Health & Fitness Centre, a 15-minute walk away.
This is a great option for budget-conscious families; kids get a toy upon check-in. Despite the slightly institutionalized feel, the staff are friendly and helpful. And if you stay here off-season, room rates are considerably lower, including good rates for weekly stays. Expansion of the hotel was underway during our last visit, with 65 rooms being added in a new tower.
