Staff was excellent and very helpful. Breakfast was very good serving just the basics. Kitchen is clean and comfortable. Rooms are clean but we’re missing a few things. Tissue box had 1 left. No kitchen soap for dishes and toaster did not work.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Staff is excellent. The hotel surrounding were terrible to me. The red dirt from workers who stay there was everywhere p. From the parking lot,into the hotel and tracked through out the corridors and dinning room as well. The boot brushes were totally worn out and didn’t seem to be used. Need better accommodations for the workers dirty working conditons.

Great stay

Did an 11 night trip if different spots by far this was the best hotel. Great value for the money - convenient to TR national park, and had a suite with separate master room! Wish all hotels were like this one. Very clean as well.

Clean room, 1 bedroom very roomy. Breakfast was mediocre. We were there later usual so that may have been why there was much left. Laundry facilities were either very grungy or out of order. Lots of construction workers stay here and take up a lot of parking. It’s in newer part of town which is more quiet

The rooms were very clean. The staff was accommodating and kind - even though they were very busy! We really enjoyed the continental breakfast and we didn’t get down there until they were twenty minutes left before it closed. They still had many options and it was clean - especially for being fully booked with basketball and hockey tournaments!!

The front desk lady was interesting!! I really didn’t need to be told that my “kids” who were 19 and 22 could scrub toilets if they are too loud! We just wanted to go to bed and not be told kids their age are the worst. You can ask people to be respectful without telling treating them like the are troublemakers. Told front desk our key to the outside door wasn’t working and she said we were doing it wrong. I guess we did wrong our whole stay! Facility was clean and comfortable.

I was in town on business and stayed here for two nights. Staff was super friendly and accommodating. Beds are firm, so if you're a side sleeper like myself, you might want to bring a mattress topper. Breakfast the first morning was good, second day orange juice was watered down and food was cold. Shower water pressure was very low too. Good channel selections on tv and good internet.

Great coffee machine available 24/7. Make sure to stop by the ice cream shop walking distance from the hotel. Love the size of the room with full size fridge. We were very comfortable for five nights. Hope they get the false fire alarms resolved - need to assess the volume of the alarm in bedrooms for possible ear damage and decible harm. The weekend staff is pretty comfy - it was a bit awkward to see a family settle into the lobby for more than 12 hours. Appreciated the Assistant General Manager - very professional, hardworking and available to resolve a change in plans with booking.
