Hard fail. Called front desk twice, they responded, due to unsavoury people knocking on my door 10pm and at neighbours door at 445am yelling profanities. I felt unsafe left hotel at 550am.

The bedspread had hair all over it as well as the sheets. The carpet was at least 50 years old and the room stank of fabreeze. I was offered another room upon request without carpet and found food in the fridge. The second room was better.
TV didn't come on. Had to call Mgr to fix it. Then we raised the TV volumn to half-way, and the TV proceeded to have a sound vibration that sounded like an exhaust fan was turned on. Lastly, no closed captioning was allowed. CC seems to be deliberately turned off by either the cable company or at the request of the Mgr. Disappointing for deaf customers.

Other than the place needing a facelift, I was very happy with my stay at The Kingsway. Looked like a sketchy neighbourhood but the Holiday Inn is right next door. I had a restful night and my cats did too.
This place was run down. Upkeep was not their first priority. Linen was clean but carpet disgusting. Mold in the bathroom walls and ceiling. Convenient parking and restaurants in the area. I would not recommend this place unless it was your last choice. Will never stay there again.
