Room was as described and very clean. The room listings don’t say anything about mini fridges but mine had one. Controlled heat/ ac in the room but it was nice bonus to be able to open a window as well.
In relation to noise, I think it will depend on who your room neighbours are and what is going on downstairs for the night. For my stay got unlucky on the neighbour end not being cognizant of how late it was / loud they were being. Not the hotels fault but as the walls do seem thinner perhaps when bookings are sparse spacing out guests out more would help.
As for the area, pretty much all of E Hastings has the same people particular issues at night, the grocery & dollar stores are across the street so there may be more congregations at certain times however I didn’t find it to be any less safe than other parts of the downtown area at night.
All in all, worth the $$$, if I happen to need a night or two in the same area, I would stay again.
