Comfortable Stay Near OVO Hydro

great locationcute staffclean roomold tv

The location was great. It was close to the OVO Hydro. Staff were cute and helpful upon our arrival. The room was clean and just the right size for our overnight stay. Breakfast was conveniently located across the road at a nearby hotel, I found that to be quite accessible.

The TV in the room could use an update, and I reported a minor issue with the bedding. The stains under the bed were very upsetting for me because of hygiene matters and the delay with the report.

i came to see a concert at the hydro so location was excellent. it was also close to some nice bars and restaurants. i booked a triple room with three single beds. it offered lots of space, so it was great for a group.

the sink was very small making it difficult to fill the kettle. i used small tea cups bit by bit. mugs for a normal tea size would be much nicer.
