Very casual at the Marlborough - I liked that. The old world charm of the hotel. The cleanliness was superb. The staff at the desk were so helpful. Our room was very spacious. More than big enough to get an extra cot in the room. My son hurt his leg and a security personnel brought us a cane to use for the rest of our stay. The complimentary breakfast is the best I ever had, and very good service. Rooms were really clean every day. For one who would only expect a very fancy hotel and small rooms and a high price tag this place is not for you. When you enter, it has a lot of beautiful hardwood and there is a nice bar you can enter from the main floor. The only drawback is there is no parking for the hotel itself. You must pay a price at the parking lots across the street - you have a couple of choices. Smack in viewing distance to all the concert theatres and a multi theatre cinema, and a 2 minute walk to the MTS Centre for the Jets hockey. You cannot ask for more. For an older hotel and a good price downtown do not pass this one up.
Liked: Very nice stay.
Disliked: They do not have their own parking lot.

Wouldn't stay here again. It's not because I'm pretentious it's due to the fact this hotel services indigent population. Our water was brown coming out of the faucet. No one is paying attention to this property and it's visibly worn out. Price and location is good for concert venues but the fact that I had to check in while watching a drunk next to me in the lobby with his zipper down and had urinated on himself was a joke. This place needs to set standards that will attract repeat bookings.
Liked: Nice staff. Close to venues.
Disliked: Worn out lobby, decor; clientele indigent drunks.

It was close to MTS which is where I was headed! My room was outdated and the elevator was really slow. I liked that we received free breakfast with our stay, and the bed was comfy. We couldn't get the AC to work though.
Liked: Location; food.
Disliked: Outdated rooms; restaurant hours.

The rooms were very sketchy. The minute I walked in, I felt dirty and didn't even want to set my bags on the floor. Prime example of a roach motel. The bed was an old spring bed mattress which made it very uncomfortable. The shower was either ice cold or boiling hot as I was standing there with soap in my eyes trying to make adjustments to the faucet. Never did and after 30 minutes in the shower, I gave up, still feeling dirty. Would never in a million years recommend this hotel to anyone ever.

It's certainly an old hotel...
Liked: The history of the building was an insteresting draw. The complimentary breaikfast was nice and satisfying. The staff was friendly and courteous. Room had a decent view of the city. And it was easy to walk to and from places there.The Churchill room, which hosted the wedding ceremony we attended was gorgeous.
Disliked: The surrounding area and especially the lobby was frequently filled with rowdy drunks. We would often be approached by folks that made us feel uncomfortable. People off the street seem to frequent the on-site bar so you don't know who is a guest and who isn't, and it made us hesitant to leave our room. The hallways are also dimmly lit which my girlfriend said gave it a creepy and eerie vibe.The room itself was fine, but the bathroom sink seemed to only pour hot water, and there was a bubble of water trapped underneath the tub lining.

Disliked: Well let's just say this hotel was suspect and the clientele was not the best, location is ok but again the feeling of being safe was not present whatsoever .... the hotel reaked of 1987 and looked and felt rundown

The workers seemed a bit...
Liked: We booked the hotel because it was very close our concert venue. We had booked a jacuzzi suite, but when we arrived they informed us that the jacuzzi was broken so they had us book a queen room which we had to wait 30 minutes for because none were clean. For a complimentary breakfast, it was very good but I felt bad for the busy worker that seemed to be handling a lot.
Disliked: After getting a different room than we originally booked due to the jacuzzi not functioning in the jacuzzi suite, they wanted to put us in a smoking room. We had to way 30 minutes in the lobby for a queen non-smoking room. I thought they should?ve offered a discount for the inconvenience. The room was rather chilly and the heat register was very loud and didn?t seem to produce warm air. I also noticed what appeared to be a blood stain on the sheet. In the morning, we noticed that forensic police were on site, so a crime may have been committed.
