Hotels near Rutherford House

"The hotel itself is good, decent rooms and pet-friendly (nice feature) but DO NOT take their advice on parking and AVOID the surface lot (Vibe lot 15) that they will register your vehicle at for parking. The front desk staff at the hotel told me that they have not heard of any concerns about break-ins at that parking lot for a few months, and my window was smashed in on the first night. While sorting that out, I ran into several other people who also had their windows smashed in and items stolen from their vehicles. Walking my dog past that lot the next 2 mornings, I counted another 7 (!) smashed windows so there were 10 car windows smashed in that lot during my 3 night stay. Definitely felt misled by the front desk staff who happily registered my vehicle to park there and told me that break-ins were infrequent when I asked if my vehicle would be OK parked there. When I spoke to the same front desk staff to let them know my window had been smashed in, they said they were "surprised" and that they hadn't heard of any issues reported to them for "months". It took me 12 hours to learn of 3, and was personally aware of 10 smashed windows/break-ins over my 3-night stay, so I find it hard to believe that the guy that works there wasn't aware of this issue. DO NOT park in their recommended surface lot. "

"Overall a good stay. Staff were excellent. Parking was pricey and the lot was somewhat sketchy in terms of people there on the weekend, however nothing happened to us or our car. Room was clean and well appointed. Location on Whyte was 5/5 with a bustling night life and plenty to do and see on foot from the hotel. Main complaint: Room was way too warm and there was no way to cool it down. There was a letter in the room saying that the AC is turned off all winter (and apparently spring as well) and to shut the thermostat off to stop the fans from blowing heat into the room, but otherwise, if the room is too warm, sorry about your luck. We opened the windows through the day, but had to close them at night as Whyte is very noisy street (more on that later). When the desk kindly asked how our stay was going we told them it was good, except the room was too warm. They essentially repeated what the letter said. An offer for an oscillating fan or anything to move the air around would have been the right response, but no luck there. We did see a staff member with a fan on our second day. I suppose we could have asked, but it was too late by then. As I mentioned, the location on Whyte was great but along with that was a lot of noise from the street with an endless parade of cars showing off their altered exhaust systems. I'm talking at least a dozen or more per hour."

"The rooms are very basic, clean, comfortable bed, very affordable with restrooms and showers down the hall. If you simply require a place to sleep in the Whyte Ave. neighbourhood, the Commercial is a good option. The historic pub downstairs is a bonus. Lots of dining spots within a couple of blocks, plus the nearby Farmers Market, bookshops, and many great local businesses. "
