DO
NOT
book
this
listing,
it
is
NOT
a
hotel
any
more!
Booked
“Strathcona”
hotel
from
our
home
in
London
directly
through
Strathcona
website
for
a
Saturday
night
hockey
game,
arrived
Friday
night
and
would
stay
until
Sunday.
Upon
arrival,
we
were
greeted
by
men
loitering
around
our
front
of
the
Strathcona
establishment,
only
to
be
informed
that
this
location
has
now
been
converted
to
a
shelter
while
being
laughed
at.
Went
inside
to
confirm
the
information
was
true,
and
indeed
it
was.
Employees
of
the
shelter
informed
us
that
we
would
likely
be
redirected
to
“Pantages”.
A
hotel
that
is
roughly
a
twenty
minute
walk
away
from
the
location
we
were
thrilled
about…
Walked
there,
to
be
told
that
we
were
the
lucky
winners
of
a
promotional
upgrade—
guest
suite.
This
room
that
was
offered
to
us
featured
a
window
that
overlooked
the
hotels
third
floor
rooftop,
full
of
cigarette
butts,
chicken
wing
bones
and
litter
scattered
amongst
the
rooftop.
The
room
itself
was
very
dated,
looked
nothing
like
the
photographs
that
were
viewed
online
and
the
overall
quality
of
the
location
seemed
quite
poor
in
comparison
to
expectations
derived
from
the
online
viewing.
Fortunately—
as
this
IS
a
common
occurrence,
the
employee
within
Pantages
decided
that
given
the
circumstances,
it
made
sense
to
provide
us
with
a
full
refund
and
we
left
immediately
to
book
for
a
higher
quality,
yet
still
lower
costing,
conveniently
located
hotel.
Please,
take
my
advice
and
do
not
book
this
location.
The
lower
prices
and
convincing
photography
are
not
what
you
will
encounter
upon
arrival.
