Overall the hotel was fine, but the beds were not the most comfortable, the areas could have been a bit cleaner, the gym was a bit limited, and the pool was small.
We had a great stay for one night this weekend. We were in town with our 2 kids to watch a Forge FC game. The hotel was fairly priced for families and was in a convenient location. The entire hotel was very clean and smelled lovely. The room decor was really nice and the beds were comfortable. The kids enjoyed the pool and it was great the there are two restaurants on the property. I didn’t realize that this hotel is Canadian and that’s definitely a bonus :). I would recommend this hotel.
Always a good stay at this hotel, though the last time I stayed I noticed a strange smell in the room, like someone before me had smoked in it, which is frustrating. The shower also wasn't scrubbed very clean, there was some build-up in it. For the rest, it was a good, clean stay.
The tv is terrible. Missing channels and cannot navigate easily. The channels are like 23-3. What is that? A guide of channels is helpful. Not everyone streams.
The location was very convenient, which I appreciated. However, the overall cleanliness left a lot to be desired. The rooms and hallways did not appear to be well-maintained, and there was an unpleasant odor throughout the building. It gave the impression that cleaning isn’t done thoroughly or frequently enough.
The front desk staff were amazing. They were even nice enough to give me an upgrade to a king bed. I much appreciated it.
Overall my stay was good.
Only down side was that someone propped the door open to pool and there were giant bugs EVERYWHERE… so using the hot tub was out. And that was the main reason for booking the hotel in the first place.
