I like hotels that are old school. You get a room, give them the cash, they take down your drivers license number, you give them a key deposit and then you get a key. Simple. The rooms are cheap and you are in the center of the action on Edmontons famed South Side. I support hotels like this because there should be more of them. Way too many snotty, overpriced places to sleep in, everywhere else. Sometimes you get a great room here, sometimes not. Depends on the person checking you in. I feel like I am in New Orleans when I stay here. The musicians that play in the bar, stay upstairs in the hotel and you will probably get to chat with them in the hallway or in the stairwells. A friendly bunch usually. I want more hotels like this one. Down to earth and simple.
