Would stay again!

We had a great stay. The room was clean and there was plenty of room for us. The hallways and lobby could use some updating but it didn't take away from my overall opinion of the place

Could be better.

The hotel is dated. Although the beds were nice and staff helpful, thr bathroom was tiny - even a trash bin couldn’t fit. No fan in bathroom nor was there a mirror outside the bathroom. Absolutely no view out the window. The hot tubs and sauna facilities are old and in a dark room. Not great value for $$.

Thank goodness the staff were very friendly and as accommodating as possible. The first room we were given smelled of animal urine, the second room was ok, very dated. For over $600.00 cdn a night it was not up to par whatsoever. Very disappointed in this hotel.
