Credit Union Spark Centre

The hotel is lovely, despite its downtown location. It was loud with lots of traffic outside, but the room was comfortable and clean. The hotel does not allow you to check in without a credit card, however, and does not have the option to pay a cash deposit. Every other hotel we've stayed in across Canada allows this (not everyone has credit cards). The front desk agent was rude when we asked about it, and even worse when I asked if she could call someone. She paged another department instead of calling the manager (we could hear it through the phone), and told us she got voicemail. When we asked if she could try again because we had been on the road for 8 hours with a 9-month-old and really just wanted to get this sorted out, she slapped the manager's card on the desk and said to call him ourselves. Eventually we used a relatives credit card for the deposit, which we should not have had to do. The employee was correct in telling us the policy, but the way she handled it was extremely rude.

Property is looking a little tired especially the bathroom. There was mold on the caulking around the tub and water damage on the surrounding drywall. The AC was very noisy and the carpets should be cleaned/replaced. The breakfast was good and the staff were friendly. The bed was comfortable as well.

Value for money can’t be beat. Property was super clean and the restaurant next-door was great.
