Hotel was great and nice and clean. Area around hotel has a lot of unhoused people and substance abuse. The area does smell like urine, but if you know this before hand, you aren’t surprised. Hotel itself is wonderful, affordable, and a lovely social enterprise. Would not hesitate to stay here again.

The Hotel was really nice! Room was clean and had all we needed. The AC was out abd our room was definitely on the hot side. It was explained that a city power issue affected them and were working to get it up and running. A discount was offered but i have yet to see if that will happen. Will certainly stay again. Great option to go to Rogers Arena to catch a game or concert as it's a short walk.

It’s a unique property in a very sketchy neighborhood, with few tourist amenities close by. We knew the hotel did not include food or beverages, and were attracted by the native art program associated with it. Public transport was easily available, so the location was not a big issue, and we did not feel threatened. A good deal overall.
