Hotel was great for a 3 day stay. However, there was a strong smell of bleach that persisted throughout the entire stay in our room. Im not sure if that was just due to cleaning supplies but other than that the stay was great and the employees worked with us when we arrived too early for our check in!

Positives: 1. Allowed early checkin. 2. Room recently renovated and clean. 3. Good location, close to English bay. Negatives: 1. Some construction in hotel and adjacent buildings outside, with elevators out of service. Future recommendations: 1. Include free breakfast, similar to most other Best Western express.

Hotel had options for our family of 6 which was nice. Parking was awesome to have on the property as i could park my super tall van. Rooms are updated nicely, but everything else is not. HVAC is ancient and so is the elevator. No breakfast included, and tiny lobby and has a "motel feel" rather than a hotel
