We enjoyed our stay at ARC The Hotel. The location and convenience of being near many of the most loved coffee shops like Starbucks and Tim Hortons can't be beat. The rooms were clean and came with what I expect from a good hotel: it had a safe, a small fridge, plush robes, plenty of towels, great shower products, and downstairs, a gym in the basement. I particularly want to shout out Hassane, one of the concierges, who gives exceptional, friendly service: he really looked after my little family, always with a smile. I would stay at the hotel again.

Good choice at great price range

The staff at the front desk went above and beyond, providing excellent service and upgrading our stay to a suite. We appreciated the efforts from all involved in our arrival. The room is slightly outdated but that didn’t take away from the comfort and cleanliness of the room. I would stay here again.
