A place where when you have nothing allows for cheap and affordable place to stay even at your lowest, for that I'm most appreciated of this Hotel and it's staff. Though lacking in some areas if you have no where else to go this is a warm and safe if in doors to be for an relatively cheap and fair price

It was once a nice place.
Now lobby and entrance is poorly lit and frightening.
Heaters in room dont work.
Was freezing in January.
No extra blankets.
Needs a redo.

The person running behind the front desk was awesome. Loved that they upgraded me to a 2 room suite because they ran out of rooms that I had booked. No charge for that. Breakfast was ok. Need a few more choices. Room was great.

Very nice staff
Hotel is old and the clientele is sketchy, but the hotel staff was extremely nice and accommodating. The hotel allows smoking so our room smelled like smoke.

Well light parking. Room was a little dirty and there was a hole in the sheet from a cigarette burn. The person working was super helpful! Brought towels and pillows to the room and our remote didn’t work and he brought up a new one.

Noisy. Motorcycles racing back and forth under our window afternoon and night. Tub was open to the sleeping area rather than the bathroom. No closet or hanging space. Bed was comfy. Breakfast included waffles and biscuits with sausage and gravy.

Excellent room and staff. Vending machine had problem. But staff helped. Room was spacious with large TV with good amount of channels. Locality was not great, with limited vegetarian restaurants nearby.

This spot was just what we needed for a quick overnight stay. It was unique to us to stay in downtown Waterloo. We were greeted kindly and in response to my booking request for a handicapped height toilet (71 with wonky knees) we walked into not the non-smoking Kkng I’d booked, but a very nice two room suite! We regretted that we had just the one night to enjoy it!

Do not recommend
Definitely a budget hotel. Terrible ventilation. My room smelled like pot whenever I would enter.
If you book here, they ask for a deposit when you check in. Be sure to get it back when you leave.
One positive, they do have cameras in the parking areas.

I like how no one was in my business. It was quiet and in a way felt secluded from the rest of the hotel (in a good way).
