We stayed during the week and found the room was clean when we first got there seemed like new paint and floors so that was nice but the wifi was so slow it was not usable for the tv to load anything. The A/C unit on Max could not keep the room fully cool it was colder outside then in our room. The water pressure was better then I expected for the shower. But when the morning we were leaving I woke up with pink eye from the sheets was not impressed. For the $110 I had to spend to stay it was not worth it.

I was there 7 years ago, and I was looking forward to a colourful room. I miss the murals! I could tell the paint was done recently. Hope there will be new murals next time. Windows and air conditioner filter could use a good cleaning, but otherwise it was very nice.

If you want to impress your lady don't bring her here. One thing is they have a portable heater that kept dripping out. Second there is a coffee maker but no coffee or creamer or cups or cabinet to put these things in, these things are standard in the industry. Icing on the cake happened in the morning the power was out so no water to flush the toilet and no shower for the wife. I think there was a scheduled power outage since I saw Hydro One working on the lines down the street in any case no discount was offered.

Staff were very friendly and quick to react when we had a minor heating issue. We thought it strange that there was a coffee maker in the room but no coffee or cups. Overall the room was perfect and at a great price point for our use.

We booked a hotel last minute to see our son' hockey game at the South River arena. The hotel is a bit run down and even though there are No Smoking signs on all unit doors, there is the stale smell of smoke. Our one interaction with staff was fine. The town itself doesn't have much in the way of dining.
