Best Western Kings Inn & Conference Centre

The nicely decorated and clean first floor room was a complete bust when the guests in the room above mine walked in. Apparently no money was spent in sound proofing the ceilings! I was woken up by stomping noises, pops and creaking. Totally unacceptable for what I am paying for.
The staff helped move me to a second floor room the very next day. They helped me move my luggage as well. That was very helpful.
They are also undergoing major renovations to the front of the building, but no signage as to where to pull into the lobby made me miss the entrance and had to drive around to find it.
I guess I finally got what I paid for.

I stayed here about a year ago. I can’t remember the details of this place but I recall being okay with this hotel. It was located about 30 minutes away from downtown. We couldn’t find a hotel less than $ 100 in the city center so we settled staying here. They have a lot of Asian shopping malls nearby, fyi.
The hotel room in itself was pretty clean. The parking lot wasn’t very well lit.
They provided us with only two breakfast tickets even though we had more in our group. The breakfast wasn’t really that impressive or memorable. I just remember they had cheap pastries and bananas. It is great for what it is, an affordable place to stay for short visit.

Not a bad place to stay especially if you’re just needing a place to sleep. I was out and about during the day time and it was a nice, clean place to lay my head down for the night. Free wifi and free breakfast at the Chinese restaurant on the lot (a little weird but it works…). The breakfast consisted of the usual continental fare (muffins/​toast/​fruit/​yogurt/​coffee/​juice/​cereal etc) but also included instant pancakes and some eggs, sausuage, and bacon. Not bad at all.

While it’s not the most glamourous hotel for its area, it’s more than decent, motel-​style with the parking outside and convenient to lots of restaurants, esp. if you’re into Asian lol. A 24-​hour phở, a korean hotpot, a handful of sushi places, all within walking distance. In fact, a decent Shanghainese resto right next door that they used to use as their breakfast area at one point, but I’ll digress.
For Steve Nash gym across the street, you’re allowed to park on the east side of the parking lot for members ;)

This best western is a hit and miss. I came here last year for an industry conference and this is as ghetto and uninspiring as it comes. The staff seemed friendl-​ish, however, most looked as though they hated their job. Maybe it was a long day, who knows.

We usually always stay at this hotel because we like the location and we always request the same room. This time the woman at the front desk was awful. She said we booked on line and we didn’t. We did not get the room we requested. We had to carry a lot of stuff up to the second floor to get to our room. Then the toilet clogged and when I called the desk they brought me a plunger. I said that is not my job. They did not have staff to deal with it so we had to change rooms. Very inconvenient. Then upon check out we could not have our deposit back until the room was checked. We are near 60 years old. We will not stay here again.

They were good last time I stayed, but this time I got room 319!
Holey crap what a mistake … BC Ambulance has an office in 318.
Those inconsiderate bastards were talking outside and doing business like it was mid day … they even tried their lights at 6:30 right outside my window … imagine my surprise!
I would recommend not getting does on the back side of the lot!

For the class of hotel it is, I think I got a great deal. Nice clean room with a roomy bathroom, desk, Pantene shampoo and conditioner, Vaseline lotion. The towels were a bit dry and hard. Clean carpets too! Big drawer with tv. The bed is big and clean. Clean bedding. Very comfortable bed. Breakfast was at the Chinese restaurant next door. Great food. Scrambled, boiled eggs, sausage, ham, yogurt, pancakes, some pastries and fruits. Cereal and milk. Oatmeal with different dried fruits and almonds. Friendly staff. I love their breakfast bar.

I am of mixed minds reviewing this. On one hand, I had to stay here for work, on the other, I don’t have a whole lot nice to say.
The rooms are small. There is nothing King about them, not even the «King Sized Rooms» they’re small.
The rooms have sorry excuses for fridges. Some are just flat out small, others are not even fridges.
The rooms are all damp all the time. I think a crappy air conditioner combined with a fundamental inability to open a window leaves them damp and not great.
There is a pool. It’s outdoors and it wasn’t working.
There is a restaurant, however the whole time we were there there was an eviction notice on the door for failing to pay rent. Those serving the continental breakfast didn’t seem to mind as it was every morning inside the restaurant.
One of the main reasons we stayed there is that they are supposedly unionized, and while that may be true, it wasn’t clear to me they treated their staff very well.
All in all this place gets 1 star for being unionized and 1 star for being close to a liquor store.
