“It's stuck in time and not a great”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 May 2013 via mobile

It was a very disappointing room. My check in included a drunk guy who clearly urinated on himself trying to reach someone on the hotel phone. Security was trying to assist... but off that first impression I should have left. The place has a worn out feel and clearly needs some care. The elevator has never been cleaned. The carpets... More

“Look Elsewhere”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 February 2013

Don't allow the history of the place or web site fool you, the Marlborough is an old lady well past her prime and in need of serious upgrading. The hotel serves 'regular' paying customers and families and others apparently receiving long term social assistance. Two business associates moved hotels during our stay; one because she was verbally accosted at the... More

“If you value your life, STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2013

We chose this hotel as it is located across the street from the Burton Cummings Theatre, where we were attending a concert. The website implies it is old world charm. WOW! Nothing could be further from the truth. At check-in, we had to fight with the staff to receive the rate we were quoted on-line, and in hind site, we... More

“Nice staff and location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2013

The hotel has really nice staff, very helpful. The complimentary breakfast was ok, unfortunately not enough food to be satisfied for a morning meal. The rooms and bathroom were not clean, but clean enough to not run away immediately. Location is very good, close to downtown, the train station en bus stops.

“Overpriced and Unsafe”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2013

The staff was nice and helpful, but the area and condition of the rooms were not very nice. We had problems coming into the hotel late at night due to them checking names for security and them not putting our names on the list. This was extremely annoying after a night out in the downtown area. The room was extremely... More

“Parking is an issue”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2013

On a business trip, my son and I spent the night here. We picked the place mostly because my son had stayed there several times while attending collage in North Dakota 15 years ago. The Marlborough was built about 1914 and was once a grand hotel. They didn't need parking back then, so there is no onsite parking. A block... More

“Edwardian Elegance”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 December 2012

A well maintained older hotel with a lot of character. The room was comfortable and quiet. Breakfast was great! The staff were polite and pleasant. Makes a good base for a short stay if you want to remain in the downtown area and don't need a car. Ideal for shops, museums and the Via Rail station.

I have to admit I have never stayed at this hotel, although I hope to do so in the future. But I have spent time looking over the lobby, the bar, etc. These areas of the 100-year old hotel are beautifully restored while maintaining the old look. Several weeks ago I contacted the hotel asking if there are any items... More
