Very convenient to 401 and Great Lakes Wtrfr Trail
Elevator was down and we were bike packing, fortunately they were able to accommodate a lower room so only had to carry them one flight. Otherwise everything else was great.

Overall very good with some room for improvement.
Some parts of the building need a facelift.
The one elevator was out of service.

Good for families on a budget
Much better than the previous owner ( 10 + years ago ) Only thing the pool was too cold and didn't get to enjoy it.
Had a King room and it was comfy didn't wake up with a sore back.

No Thank You - Avoid
The overall condition and cleanliness of this location are horrible. Smells musty, was not very clean, and overall, the location needs to be renovated.

I really like the hotel and the price. What I didn't like was the hidden small hidden charge that expedia gave me after I paid for the hotel stay.
