Very quiet, had a great sleep. Easy parking at this super safe well priced hotel. Staff is always helpful and provide useful information on the area. Can be very busy when the golf season gets rolling or very quiet when not in full busy mode on the course. Large TV worked well for NHL playoffs and Blue Jays games. Stay here often. Always receive very good value & get a relaxing, restful night. Great option if you are driving in beautiful CB.

Brand new mattresses, so comfy. Suite was very big. Large, clean washroom. Lots of parking. Staff were friendly and helpful. It was opening day for the hotel but the restaurant wasn’t open yet. Our only complaint was that the floors squeaked so we could hear the people above quite a bit.
