I have been to this hotel a number of times but was not super happy this time as the heat was not turned on in the room when I arrived. Was very cold and took a good hour to heat up. I think this is unacceptable for a hotel but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt this time.

The stay was good. The room was clean . The only problem was that the fan in the washroom didn’t work and the main door to the room needed repair as it was hard to lock and open from the inside. I would recommend this stop.
