A bad experience. Our room smelled of drains when we arrived. We got moved…to a delightful room overlooking a car park where there was still a drain smell, although thankfully less bad. Bed was uncomfortable, the apartment not very well provisioned. I’m not sure who this Locke proposition is aimed at, but for a comfortable stay at this price point there are better options.

Lovely hotel, close to Canal Street Gayborhood
Booked this hotel to experience the nightlife of Canal St/Gayborhood and this was a perfect location for it. Love the liveliness of the lobby/restaurant/coffee shop during the day and the lovely metal/glass ceiling. Great room and full kitchen in my room. Next time, I want to book something at Shallows because it looks so cool but didn't know about it prior to booking. Highly recommend this place!

The property is very cute! Location is good and conveniently located near a Starbucks and grocery store. Chinatown is also nearby as well too. The only thing I didn’t like was the lighting for our apartment. It was quite dim and getting my makeup done everyday was not good.

Hi Zaker. Thank you for leaving us a review. It was lovely conversing with you as well and knowing that aband named "Extreme" is so popular here. You learn something new everyday;) I am really sorry about your experience with the room heating though. I will flag that to the maintenance team to have a look at the heating system. Happy to know that some of the inconveniences were resolved promptly. We do hope to welcome you back with us and make your experience better:) Till then, take care! - Tanu & the team

Whilst the hotel was lovely to look at and the staff were lovely the walls in the rooms are so thin. All night we were kept away by other people coming into their rooms and the sounds of water running from the showers. Our room was near to the lift and you could hear the lift stopping and the sound of the bell when it arrived on the floor. If we had been staying longer than 1 night it wouldn't have been tolerable.

Hi Alex, Thank you for leaving a detailed and thoughtful review, your feedback is extremely valuable to us and helps us continue to improve our guests' experiences. I apologise for the noise issues you experienced, as it is such a large property, some buildings and areas are more prone to noise than others. However if you do decide to give us another chance to impress you, I can pop a note on your profile to allocate the quieter side of the building overlooking the canal. We hope to welcome you back soon. Best wishes, Alana & the House Host Team

The unique design of the property being a converted warehouse was interesting and enjoyable. In some places it was a little dark and the lighting didnt always seem to be adequate. Probably not so much of an issue in the summer. However we loved staying here.

Hi Mandy, Thank you for a great review, its great to hear how much you appreciated the interesting design and architecture of the property, we do try to let the history of the building shine through! Apologise that the lighting design wasn't quite to your taste, I believe the designers opted for muted lighting for a more intimate cozy atmosphere, however we do provide lamps on request if you desire. It would be great to see you at Whitworth once again, hopefully very soon!Best wishes, Alana & the House Host team
