Guest Reviews & Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of everything you could want, with a very comfy bed and amenities. The service was lacking that usual Canadian hospitality touch, as I encountered a rude attitude when discussing my reservation. The hotel offers many selections for dining with options to suit everyone but could use improvement in some areas. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, which adds to the overall experience.
