Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We went into our room and left . The sheets did not looked washed and were discoloured . The toilet paper roll was used . We were charged over 200 Canadian for this room ! We stayed in a room the night before at another hotel and it was a 5 star and cost us 15 dollars more than this one . We would never recommend this to anyone . Do not waste your money
