Love the location very walkable. Also, the front desk staff was super nice. I panicked when I couldnt find my wallet. She helped me stay calm and was really sweet. However.... I paid for a specific room but was put in a different one. When I went to the desk to notify i was told that they could not refund the difference. Thats very unacceptable

We stayed for two nights and the first night our room was backing on the elevator - had to move rooms the next day. No sleep and my son was there for a soccer try out. Staff didn't care and acted like it happens all the time. The best thing about the hotel was the vallet parking - they were nice and helpful. Won't stay again.

Dear Ms. Anna, we truly apologize for the inconvenience you had to go through during your stay. We completely empathize with you and understand, how important it was for you and your son to have a restful sleep. We look forward to welcoming you back and turn things around for you. Again, our team is not known for this instead, we are accustomed to always go an extra mile to meet the expectations of our guests and ensure that our guests are comfortable. However, we will take this as a learning and coaching opportunity for our team. Warm regards,

I stayed at the Ven in November 2023 - I pre-paid my stay through Expedia. Parking was included in the price. At Check Out, I advised the front desk and they took the parking off my final bill. However, after I checked out I was billed. I’ve called the Ven three times - two times got voicemail from their accounting office and once spoke to a front desk manager who said they would get back to me. No one has. Not only are they overcharging me, but they can’t even return a call. Disappointing - do not recommend.
Response from Jennifer on Feb 17, 2024
Dear Steven, I am so glad you connected with us via this review but very sorry that it took this effort to get the issue taken care of! I will follow up with our team to find out why it took so ridiculously long to take care of a pretty simple adjustment for you. My sincerest apologies. It has been taken care of and you should have received the credited folio to your email. Thank you for your patience.

Lobby area is great however the room itself was quite run-down. Bathroom is just flat out dated - no frills, nothing spa like or refreshing about it. There is also no countertop surface area to place items in the bathroom, ladies, theres no way you're gonna do your makeup in there. Mirror in the bathroom was also pitted pretty bad and a corner of the glass cracked/broken off. Due to the complete lack of storage area in the bathroom, the towels are stored in a little fake wood nightstand thing under the sink that looks like something I had in college and the towels smelled as a result. HVAC system was incredibly loud and didn't maintain temperature. Lastly, the receptacles built into the nightstands are so worn out that the items plugged in would fall out. If they stayed in, they had to be wiggled just right in order to make them work - even then, they'd quit working after a bit, followed by some crackling sounds. I ended up plugging all of my items in on the desk to ensure they'd be charged in the morning. For what I paid for this hotel, I'm extremely disappointed. Don't make the same mistake I did - pick another hotel nearby.

The at times the ventilation system was noisy with vibrations, during a cold snap the air was extremely dry causing a nose bleed and dry throat. Not a problem in the warmer months otherwise could use humidifiers. Overall a great place to stay.

Location is great. Close to some shopping and lots of restaurants around that are walkable. Staff is very friendly. Only issue was i dint get my upgraded room and my room was very small and washroom was tiny. Could barely fit 2 people in the washroom. Ac/heater was very loud ( i beleive it was the heater) turned on in the middle of the night and sounded like someone was banging on the wall and woke me and wife up.
