I just felt that the website really made the place seem/sound great and it did not live up to the description. The carpets were stained in the hallways and room. The indoor walkway to the bowling alley was pretty dingy and gross. I was not happy with our room. It was blah if that's a good way to put it.... more

Ok my husband read some of these reviews to me the night before we left and I was really expecting something terrible. When we got there I was pleasantly surprised. Yes, the rooms are a little outdated and the carpets could use a steam clean but I wasn't horrified at how disgusting the place was. I thought the beds were... more

This hotel was not that great. The staff was okay, not friendly but not rude either, almost robotic. The hotel is a maze and it's hard to find the elevator. The room is either hot or very cold..no comfortable medium. The view wasn't that great but that's fine. But the worse of all was the horrible elevators that I thought... more

I've recently spent an unpleasant weekend at this facility as a part of a sports team group booking. This hotel was filthy beyond belief. Upon entering the lobby, the appearance was old and shabby, the carpet was dirty. The hallways had a noticble odour, musty among other unidentifible smells. Upon entering the room, there were visible stains in the carpeting.... more

was here for a week for a conference-the decor was a little "worn" and tired,but the facilities themselves met our needs. the security and cleaning staff were very friendly-think they should send some of the counter people back to " personality school" loads of amenities within a 10 minute walk (restaurants,groceries,zellers,walmart),but if you want to walk to the totem pole... more

Rooms were a little on the dirty side, staff weren't the friendliest, the location has issue (far from downtown - walking to the city centre was a good one-hour walk, which I ended up doing because the bus service was infrequent)... Hotel catering services for the business conference I participated in was the only redeeming quality of this place, and... more

I never write reviews.... this time i had too! I made the mistake of assuming this was still a Best Western.... its NOT. Don't stay here, I mean it! I travel all over Ontario for business and this has to be the dirtiest place I've even been to... I slept with a Towel on my pillow and didn't shower because... more
