Nice older hotel in perfect spot to explore and enjoy Whyte ave. Quiet, hassle free service, with windows that open (versus many hotels with stale recycled air), with everything you need for a convenient stay.

Water pressure in the showers is disappointing. I understand to have eco-friendly shower heads, but the ones at Varscona are quite ridiculous. Otherwise, it is a quality hotel.
