Ear plugs by hotel waiting in the room was an ominous sign. All fans were noisy: the A/C was moderately noisy, bit more than should have, the shower room exit fan was very noisy.
Everything was well worn in use.
Location was great, not too noisy at night, nicely in center between train station and Trent University.
Breakfast ok or good, staff was nice.
Room cleaning poor: waste bin was not emptied and used spoons were not replaced to clean ones.
A/C was inoperable in the first room, a change (to a smaller one) helped a little.
Corridors were very hot (hot summer) and there were many steps to climb on third and fourth floors to access some rooms (more than half a flight worth).
Internet was slow, erratic, open (=no security for data relayed over wlan), etc. Mobile phone provides much better access so the hotel internet was useless.
