Ivey Spencer Leadership Centre

Location, building style and neighborhood. Very close to western university.

The hotel turned out to be so much more than just a place to crash for the night. I was only expecting a quiet, clean, and warm bed before moving into my new house, but I got so much more! The hotel is tucked away in a peaceful park with big, beautiful trees and charming red buildings. The vibe was totally different from other hotels I’ve stayed at. A lot of the guests seemed to be scholars visiting Western University, which gave the place this cool, academic feel—focused, professional, but also really calm. It felt relaxing in a way I didn’t expect. The bed was super comfy and spotless, and the little touches really stood out. I loved the shampoo and conditioner (pretty sure it was Babor); it smelled amazing and felt so nice. Overall, it was such a great experience!

Ended up having unexpectedly having Breakfast at the location. Food and food offerings were excellent and an unexpected benefit. Staff was professional and helpful in all aspects. Well worth the 20% voluntary gratuity.

I like the quietness. It was what I needed. A quiet getaway. Rooms were clean. Room service top notch. Customer care superb.

In the evening, my wife and I were looking for a cup of tea. We had no luck finding any place in the area of the hotel. We came back to the hotel and asked the Concierge if we could get a cup of tea. He went right into the restaurant, spoke to one of the hostesses who made us two cups of tea and told us there was no charge! The beds were amazing! My wife and I both slept in to 0845, something we never do.
