Red Lion Inn and Suites
Room was clean and cosy. Had to hunt a little for parking, and most places of interest required a drive. However, price was relatively low, and that allowed us to do several things we couldn't have budgeted from a higher priced hotel

Room was clean and big enough. beds were a bit soft.(personal prefer harder bed) Staff were very kind and helpful, breakfast was great! Parking spots were not enough, better go early to reseave one. The last: the heater (air conditioner) was louder! we had to turn it off at bedtime.

Really nice hotel. Staff were helpful, friendly and efficient. It was our wedding anniversary and they presented us with a gift certificate for a free dessert at the hotel restaurant.

Strathcona Hotel
Located within easy walking distance of many attractions, restaurants, and transportation. The hotel was clean, comfortable and friendly. They were able to securely store my luggage for a few hours before check in and after check out, giving me a few more hours to explore the city.
