Unfortunate disappointment
Hotel was ok. Friendly staff. Game room was a disappointment. Most games broken and couldn’t figure out the bowling or mini golf. No signage telling us how to work them. Pictures definitely deceiving. Paid for breakfast but didn’t start serving until 7:30am so couldn’t wait around for it. Very loud streets downtown and we could hear everything. Kept us up most of the night. Likely wouldn’t stay again.

Friendly staff but was kept up until 3am with loud hockey parents partying beside us! You need security walking the halls as kids were running around at midnight. We travel a lot for our kids sports and we love the hotel stays but we respect other patrons by enforcing curfews with all the team players. Wish it was a little quieter after midnight.

Our room felt very dated, and very small. No sink vanity in the washroom and the tub/shower was old. Our outlets didn’t work well because they were loose. And our fridge didn’t work at all. There were tonnes of kids running up and down the hallway all hours of the day and we were put in a joining room which we could hear our neighbours conversations every minute were in the room. It was a quick overnight stay, but not worth the price at all.

$12 parking was not included in the Expedia price. Tight hallways. Smaller rooms. Lowering the in-room temperature did nothing. Otherwise, fairly clean and somewhat comfortable. Not ideal for bigger family.

We’ve stayed at this property twice before, this was our third time. Both times we excellent. However this last time, I am very disappointed. The check in was great, we were offered a complimentary upgrade to a king bed. However when we got to the room, room 463, it did not have a great smell. The bathroom shower was very dirty, water pressure was not the same as it was previously. The bedsheets were very rough, not soft at all and the pillows were the same. This is not what we were expecting as both times before were clean and comfortable. Really disappointed this time around.

You should really inform guests when you are accepting hockey teams or isolate guests from those floors. Likely would have been better sleeping in my car
