Pros: The location was great and close to downtown and transit. We could easily walk to most places from there. The price was hard to beat, especially for the location.
Cons: The listing was somewhat misleading. They only have 1 or 2 beds in the room. 1 bed is for 1-2 people and 2 beds is for 3-4 people. The listing made it sound like it would have more beds in each room. I booked a room for 3 and it only had 2 beds. Still would have booked it, but set your expectations accordingly. Also, the bedding didn't seem like it was cleaned.

2.5 Mediocre
Pros: The guy who sat on the porch was very nice
Cons: Rundown, spray painted building at the end of an alley. It's a low end hostel at best. Creeky futon bed frame with thin mattress pad was unpleasant. The room had a window hole without a window that they just stuffed a pillow in to keep the critters out. Glue traps for squirrels mice and birds covered the floor under the bed.

2.0 Mediocre
Pros: Absolutely nothing
Cons: Everything. No staff. We luckily managed to check in but there was a bunch of brazilians who turned up at half 7 (half an hour before check in time) who couldn't get in. The whole place is a joke. If you want to drop your stuff off and get the hell out of there then you're fine. Otherwise you're screwed
2.5 Mediocre
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Room wasn’t clean when checked in at 11am. Left for the day came back still room not cleaned yet at 9pm. I had my room over a ground level club playing pounding loud music in till 2 AM. Breakfast was poor, no coffee made, and other selections poor. I booked this room as a step above a hostel, ended up being the worst place I stayed ever. There was damage to an adjacent room, forced door not repaired. Wet paint signs everywhere, not too bad for fumes but I wasn’t there long. Room didn’t have a window or skylight
2.0 Mediocre
Pros:
Cons: We booked 3 nights with them. When we reached the hotel it said "call no.xxxxxxx to get in". We called and called and called and no one answered. Finally we had to go back and find another place.
6.5 Good
Pros: Good location: Queen Street West on the street car line, clean facilities, good price, free parking, felt safe.
Cons: AC was broken (in the part of the hotel where we stayed), way too hot, could not sleep, no windows in our room, their "free wifi" did not work except at the entrance to the hotel. Check in/check out process was confusing.
