Good location. Bed was comfortable & hotel was quiet. Maintenance, housekeeping and general service were below par. Room AC didn’t work, but did get fixed. Coffee was available in room, but no cups provided. No coffee available in lobby. Towels were taken after first night, but new ones weren’t returned. Fitness room was pretty dingy.

We checked in after a 11 hour drive for a post opp appointment & had to stay in the room with no heat on a cold night. We reached out to the front desk and they said none of the heat was working. However they didn’t even mention that to us when we got there. The lady at the front desk saw me struggling to even walk and asked me if I was ok. I told her i had just had surgery, been on the road for 11 hours & she still didn’t have sympathy to let is know we would be sleeping in the cold

Value for money was not that great, cleanliness was a bit compromised. Washroom commode was not flushing properly. Washroom roof paint was peeling off. Corridor’s carpet’s vintage was not maintained with the required pleasant smell. Iron board was broken (asked for replacement and provided). Overall eating between ok and poor.

Buyer beware, you will pay to park here and that is not advertised. You have no other choice, and it is $25.00 a day. Making this hotel not the savings it claims. Stay elsewhere, do yourself a favor.

So many things went wrong here. Hotel breakfast is not free / included. I paid for 1 breakfast and did not after the first day as the options were terrible. Hotel swimming pool is out of commission. The cleaners left their cleaning rags in my room after they cleaned and did not bother to refil coffee & creamer stations.

When I used to come to this hotel parking was included, now it is not, and they did not give you this information up front, had I known I would have selected another hotel. Smelled like illegal substances, getting out of parking even with the $25.00 a day pass was a nightmare, had to go back inside twice just to get out, front desk was highly unconcerned. Bar food was terrible, chicken soup with no chicken. I will not stay here again, this hotel has seen better days.

Every aspect of our stay from parking to room was the comfort and peace required for our stay. The staff members were friendly and very accommodating. Thank you for embracing us as you wanted us to leave with you on our mind and in our hearts to return in the future.
