The hotel was undergoing renovations at the time of my visit which made me not enjoy my stay very much. My booking on Expedia gave me a quote in USD but upon getting to Canada, the hotel staff used some different conversion in Canadian dollars which put my bill at over $300 more. I felt cheated by the hotel

The room was not clean. The air condition was not good and the sign that they are monitoring the carbon monoxide did not inspire confidence. My wife did not feel safe walking out side and the front desk staff mentioned that it could be dangerous going out side after 11:00 pm.

We had a lovely room with two queen beds and a small kitchen that was spacious. However our keys kept getting deactivated and in spite of the Do Not Disturb sign being off the door by 11, our room was never cleaned. Then there were four charges on two credit cards that were mistakes as the room was paid in full by Expedia. I think I was able to straighten that out with the manager but I probably have to call my bank’s. Drag.
