Very clean and quiet location. Breakfast was great
My room was nice but I did find hair in the bathroom. Staff were friendly and accepting. I love the variety we had for breakfast. Parking was convenient. My kids very much enjoyed the indoor pool as well. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and plan on rebooking again.
The rooms were in good condition although it was a little inconvenient having to change rooms. Also the staff were mostly quiet and kept to themselves. We are still waiting on our deposit to be returned.
Great breakfast selection and quality! The water pressure in the shower was poor and the bed was quite uncomfortable. Otherwise it was a good place to stay

Clean room. Good breakfast. Nice staff. I could not figure out how to turn the fan off on the wall unit of the air conditioning controls. So there was always fan noise even when I did not want it. If you can live with that or get maintenance to help you, it was a nice place.

One of our most favourite hotels in our 4 wk stay. Very spacious, modern room with a comfortable bed. Bathroom was gorgeous! A huge vanity, with great lighting. Lots of variety at breakfast, including a full cooked breakfast. Staff were very helpful. Convenient parking, and on-site washing facilities.
Very easy location to find with plenty of parking. Upon check in we noticed our room smelled like marijuana in a non smoking room. The front desk attendant offered to spray the room for us as they had no other rooms available. We decline the offer due to asthmatic reactions to some aerosol sprays. There was not a functioning window to open so we left the exhaust fan in the bathroom on. Other than that, the room was comfortable and clean. The breakfast was also plentiful with good options.
