The Strathcona Hotel

Stewart from Saint John, NB CA stayed on August 04, 2004

"These are comments more for the "hotel management" than for other "users". 1. I found that there was no remote control for the television set. When I telephoned somebody (possibly the front desk) at about 4:55 PM and was told that a remote control replacement would be sent to the room, none was delivered. Fortunately, I had no desire to watch television during my stay in Toronto. 2. In regard to the drapperies in the living room, the "wrap-around" piece of cloth for one of the drapes was torn-out of place and was resting on top of the air conditioner. (I don't know what else to call it than wrap-around because that is what it does.) 3. There was a very small piece of gum (dentyne) wrapping on the floor in the bedroom."

"Room comfortable but rather small and could have done with a chair to sit on rather than the 'pouffe' that was there. Could do with better air-conditioning as if the weather had been any hotter it would have been uncomfortable, as the system is too noisy to have it switched on all the time. Also, the room faced into a 'well' at the rear of the hotel and lacked a lot of natural light.Nevertheless we had a very enjoyable stay and the staff were very friendly and helpful, especially Mark in the York Street Cafe and Gwen our room attendant."

"the only good thing about this hotel was the location. the room was still small even after upgrading to a bigger room! one day, there was no shampoo replaced (but the housekeeper managed to remove a bottle that still had shampoo!), water wasn't replaced, the curtains look like they needed washing, the bahtroom door knob needed adjustment as did some other fixtures around the room."

Raynald from Ste-marie, PQ CA stayed on February 13, 2004

"Small room and not too much place to hang clothes. Furnitures more than rare. I had 2 single beds in my room and the lack of space in the room for one person may be acceptable but not more than that."

"The decor is cozy. I felt I was in a bed and breakfast and I loved it. I would like to return sometime in the future and stay at the Strathcona"
