Excellent Last Minute Booking
Front Staff were excellent. Room was quiet and well maintained. Continental breakfast was adequate but could use an upgrade with a few more options.

Good for quick overnight stay
Nothing fancy, but was great for an overnight stay. Was attending a graduation and it was a close to the campus and very convenient. The morning and evening front desk staff were very nice and friendly. The beds were firm and comfortable. The only thing that made it a less pleasant experience was the train in the distance that came through several times during the night. The interstate traffic noise did not bother us at all. Decent breakfast included.

Needs Cleaned
Check in was fine. The bathroom had hair in the shower and behind the toilet hadn’t been cleaned. There was something spilled all over the wall in the room. I got home and had 4-5 bed bug bites on me. I prayed that I didn’t bring home any critters.

It wasn't terrible, very outdated, no stairs, bed as hard as a rock and the room has a musty old smell. I went an bought lysol and clorox wipes and gave the room a good wipe down.

Convenient location for someone travelling through and getting to know the area. The visitor information centre is very close by and that was very helpful and I enjoyed this area right off the main highway. The hotel was quiet and comfortable and exactly what I was looking for.
