The hotel is also close to the airport which offers great views of planes coming and going. They can be noisy so being ear plugs if you are sensitive to noise ...

The Glenmore Inn & Convention Centre
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was super clean and so was the bathroom. The indoor pool area is a plus as well as businesses that surround the hotel. The Sunday brunch is definitely a bonus!
