The quality of rooms is inconsistent. Newly renovated rooms offer modern bathrooms, comfortable beds, and in-room microwaves and fridges. However, some rooms may have scuffed walls, damaged furniture, stained carpets and linens, poor air quality, and insects. Noise can be an issue due to thin walls and hall activity. Rooms are generally spacious, with business travellers appreciating the quiet on upper floors (e.g., 10th floor) and the availability of power outlets. The King Suite offers significant extra space, ideal for families.

Breakfast is available for a daily fee of 15 CAD. The breakfast buffet has been described as basic and sometimes cold. The on-site restaurant also serves lunch and dinner; the quality of food is noted as simple and limited, though some dishes, like the burger, have been praised.
