First time at Varscona
We had a pleasant stay at Varscona. The front desk staff were exceptionally helpful, friendly, and accommodating, going out of their way to honor our request for a quiet room. A special shout-out to the team for their warm hospitality! The linens and towels were clean, and everything in the room was in good working order. While the hotel could benefit from some upgrades and a thorough deep cleaning, the attentive staff made our experience enjoyable. Thank you for a comfortable visit!

Pleasant stay
We always enjoy our stays at The Varscona, but would really like the hotel to replace the in-room coffee makers; they are awful. I would recommend a regular Keurig machine.

I was surprised to find upon my evening arrival that the hotel parking was not secure in a parkade down the street. I was told the parkade was connected to the hotel but when I entered the stairwell access it was occupied by drug users. Had so walk out of the parkade and down the street back to the hotel.
