Booked a room online, when arrived wrong type of room was reserved for our party size. We were given an upgrade without question or additional charge. Room was great. Breakfast buffet good quality and great value. Nice pub in hotel with decent menu and open late for late dinner. Kids liked the pool and sauna. Exercise room is functional. More

On a recent 3 night stay that I had preapid with a credit card, I was told I had to place a $150 deposit for 'incidentals like movie rentals'. Unless the movies are about $50 each this seems unreasonable. I did not have the sufficient cash on me (I had about $35 on me which he declined to accept) and... More

Thank you for your recent post, We were quite disheartened to read your review. We have obviously investigated with the associate in question and the two Managers present at the time of check in, all three interviews (conducted individually) the results of which show discrepencies in the sequence of events. Policies and Procedures are present in any type of business.... More

Though the room was relatively clean this hotel is very very tired and in need of an overhaul to bring it up to snuff. Not sure how this place is a 3 star when at best it's a 1.5-2. Unless this place is renovated big time, I will not likely stay here again. More

Please let me preface this by saying I’m not normally a complainer. I don’t expect everything to be perfect and fancy, just reasonable. Read other reviews by me and you’ll see that’s true. This place however took the cake. We stayed at the hotel for 4 nights. The front desk staff was friendly and efficient during check which only took... More

Stains and dirty carpets in rooms and hallways. Mattresses are saggy and really need to be replaced. Mismatched furniture in rooms. Our desk chair was a kitchen chair. If rooms were clean this could be overlooked as this is most important to us. Nice and friendly staff. Close to shopping! More

The staff was friendly and helpful. However, this did not make up for the lack of cleanliness of the carpets and run down look of the hallways and elevators. The room was a good size and though it looked dated, it was clean, apart from a few mould stains in the shower. The TV power button was broken. The worse... More
