My friend and I spent 3 nights at the Apollo Lodge and we were very pleased with our stay…read more Staff was pleasant, I believe it was a husband and wife team running the place. The location could not have been better, a 5 minute walk from the downtown area for food and drinks but on a quiet street. Then again, my bed was right by the window so I was woken up a few times by loud people walking by the street. We were in an A-Frame room, which looks like they all border the street. So noise could be an issue in this room type vs. the others. Our room also looked different from the online pictures which were of the upstairs rooms. I addressed this with the staff and they said they could not control which pictures were shown. A bit disappointing, but the room was the same layout nonetheless. The beds were not the most comfortable beds but they did just fine.

It was a decent pit-stop, not the most glamorous experience, but a nice reliable accommodation- The room was clean, with a fantastic view of the city, offering coffee/tea selections, bottled water, fresh milk, comfy bed, pillows, and soft towels- very nice quality stay. Hot water & great water flow. The breakfast bar was fantastic ($28pp for a full breakfast) offering a selection of fresh fruits, charcuterie, variety of cereals, variety of hot options (eggs, bacon, sausage, baked beans, mushrooms, hashbrowns), variety of breads (toaster available), sweet pastries, juice bar, diy coffee nook, and a made-to-order eggs & pancake station. Everything at breakfast was quite delicious- I made myself two large pla tes to try a bit of everything (minus the made-to-order station). If looking for a spot, easy to walk downtown, affordable, and reliable, I do recommend.

Is that an extravagant expense? It's just not worth the money. Go somewhere else. Parking was full so we had to park on the street and get up early to put money in the meter. The staff that helped us upon arrival were just fine. But they cannot enhance my rating because this hotel room was shabby and subpar. We thought Accor was a solid company but their low end hotels are just that, low end and priced too high for what you get.

It was also helpful that the hotel had a washer/dryer in each room so we were able to clean our dirty laundry. The hotel staff was so friendly and welcoming. We opted for valet parking to keep things easy. You can get your car anytime you want and revalet it for no extra cost. Our room was on the 13th floor, with a cemetery in the back of the hotel, I was wondering if that was a sign, but all went well. Our room was spacious with a living room, kitchen, and bedroom. Beds and pillows were comfy. Shower was nice and hot. The only thing is the building creaked - like a lot. It was hard to sleep at times. It's apparently because of the wind and shifting of the building.

I selected their signature 1837 Black Tea while my partner tried the Royal Darjeeling and later their South African red tea, Eternal Summer. All of our choices were whole leaf teas with distinctive and complex aromas and taste. We each had a glass of Allan Scott's Cecelia Brut, with fine bubbles, from New Zealand's Marlborough region. On the three tiered tray were savory items including a cheese and bacon scone with an avocado spread, a ham and cheese sandwich and a sausage in a puff pastry. All of the sweets other than the tiramisu were chocolate items. A fruit tart or a scone would have been appreciated. We enjoyed lovely service by a friendly local who was quite engaging and educational about the extensive tea selections available.

I came upon this place because of the price point and proximity to an easily accessible thoroughfare. When I first checked in the manager seemed a bit puzzled since he was sold out, but he was able to find me a tiny little unit that got the job done! It was very compact, but the space was utilized nicely and though a bit dated, it was clean and functional. It even had an in-suite bathroom, microwave, electric kettle, a little desk/table, and a surprisingly comfortable twin bed. The manager was very nice and accommodating and the parking was right in front off the street. Initially, the area seems a bit seedy, but I went walking after dark by myself and never felt unsafe. The wifi was dependable and fast. The only issue for me was I had some very noisy neighbors, so the evening and early morning was a bit trying w/the noise levels. Other than that, for the price, it was a very comfortable stay. It is also located w/in short walking distance of a supermarket and a little shopping area with a couple of food options.

Its only a 5 minute walk to the water front where there are a ton of shops, restaurants and running trails. Walking into the hotel is like, well... the name... a museum. Incredible artwork grace the exterior walls of the building as well as every inch of the lobby. My room was comfy and decorated with more art pieces and floor to ceiling mirrors on most of the walls. Only complaint is the shower head had very little water pressure making showering a little difficult. I highly recommend the hotel for the experience and location.

During my check in I saw at least 3 charter groups come through and wait to use one of the 2 elevators for a 15 + 4 hotel. The wait was excruciating. Please note that the hotel does not have air-conditioned rooms so if the temperature gets warm out you need to leave your windows open. It was 60 degrees when I was here so I closed the windows. Despite being on the 11th floor I felt like I was adjacent to all restaurants in the area as the noise was exceptionally loud. The windows are not soundproofed. The vinyl blackout shades have numerous holes in the allowing light to stream through.

The room itself was very nice with a lot of space and everything was new and clean. Bathroom was spacious and had a great shower. The beds were very comfortable and it was quiet and easy to enjoy a good nights sleep. We went upstairs to the lounge to grab a drink and I imagine that during the day it's a beautiful view as you are surrounded with windows. At night there is not much that you could see, but the lounge was nice and the drink was mixed well. It is a pretty pricey stay, but you don't get many amenities. Wifi was additional and had to be renewed which was annoying and expensive. The other thing, is the front desk staff wasn't super friendly to us any of the days we were there. Overall it's a visually impressive hotel and though pricey, a pretty comfortable stay.
