"I couldn’t check into the Spot, but after 4pm I didn’t get the details so I called the contact number. They said housekeeping was behind so they offered an upgrade at a nearby hotel. It was nice and had a view of a harbour. BUT the next morning I’m woken to the sound of the door being unlocked. THERE WAS NO KNOCK! No one saying “it’s housekeeping”. It was a quiet rattle of keys turning the lock. Im surprised it even woke me. I jumped out of bed, yelled that the room was occupied as the door was opening. I got to the door before they could see me and forced it shut against their weight. I yell at them to go away. As a woman traveling alone this is the worst nightmare and something that happens all too often. The door didn’t have a bolt and chain lock to prevent someone outside from unlocking it again. A man said he’s housekeeping, I tell him to wait until I check out. It honestly felt like he still wanted to come in and clean. It was so bizarre. I settled down and went to the office to tell them what happened. She was apologetic, said he is new and went to the wrong room, but honestly it felt like she didn’t get how traumatic having someone pushing your door open can be. She said I could check out late, so I went back to bed. Less than 2hr later there’s a knock at the door. They said ‘housekeeping’ as they unlocked. I said occupied and didn’t hear him go away. So I went out to face him, he showed me his paperwork, which had my room # on it, but didn’t specify the hotel."

"This Hotel was clean and the staff was friendly. the restaurant downstairs (not affiliated) was terrific too :) The front counter staff person was super friendly and helpful and the room was quite new, I had some trouble getting the TV going but I attribute that to my age ;) LOL The free & secured underground parking was also a plus "

"The good: The staff was super friendly and helpful. The bed was comfy though the bedding was super thin and threadbare. The bad: the room was not clean. There was hair, dried soap drips and a ring in the bathtub, the tv screen was smeared with some kind of grease and the floors were gritty. The ugly: the mattress slid off the frame when we put my small suitcase on it, requiring us to pull the bed away from the wall to put it all back together. The wall behibd/under the headboard was DISGUSTING. There was a long hole in the wall where there should have been baseboard, and the stuff in that hole was the stuff nightmares are made of. 😳 "
