I stay here regularly because of all these features. It also has a terrific breakfast buffet, tea and coffee all day and is close to shopping, gas, groceries, etc. Great free parking and free wifi. It is my favourite in the area.

Had to wait an hour to get an extra blanket for a 3 year old at 10pm. They did bring it around 11 after a couple reminders. One elevator was down so it took for ever.

Everything was great except the elevator. My wife is handicapped and the door on the elevator closes WAY too fast. She at one point had her hand caught between the door and her walker and the door didn’t have any sensors to open again. So it hurt already arthritic hand.

The room is very spacious. It is close to shopping, restaurants, and groceries. The hotel and room are immaculate. The staff is very inviting. I was treated like royalty. The staff even asked me if I wanted them to go outside and get my luggage for me, as it was raining very hard. I was welcomed and thanked for being a member. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

We arrived late in the day and left as soon as soon as we were ready the next morning-so i cannot speak to the facilry. The check in was quick and professional The cookie and water given at check in was a lovely treat. . Our room was very large, brightly lit and beautiful. Power blinds were a nice touch. We are very pleased with our stay and we would definitely stay there again.

My son and his friend stayed in a room in which the blinds didn't work. They were forced to sleep with the windows open and the bright lights from the parking lot shining in on them all night. The price was also way too high for the location, which is in the middle of an industrial corner by the highway.

Breakfast was nothing special - the usual ‘free’ in hotel breakfast. Add bacon, and better quality breads, bagels and muffins. Bed was very comfortable and my room on the 2nd floor was very quiet. I could just hear neighbours talking next door, but it wasn’t an issue. Loud guests would likely be easy to hear. Asked for top room - they said they didn’t have any left (and I checked in just before the earliest check in time of 4:00 p.m.) Hmm…

Manager and staff at this location absolutely horrible. Fire alarm was set of 3 times during our stay 1st time at 4 am fire trucks came and left. Then again at 5 am and 6 am. Ask for later check out was told no even though alarms going off all night. They did absolutely nothing to try and accommodate us for the inconvenience. Nothing near by only a Walmart and some stores horrible place. Only upside it was mildly clean except the pool which had floating debris in it. Would not recommend stay away!!!

Check in: poorly handled. Check in time is 4pm and even though we were there at that time - several rooms including ours was not ready. Waited until 4:30. Then - no bottled water in the room. Son picked up two small bottles and we were charged. No apologies for the delay and nothing as a complimentary apology. No cups in the washroom - just coffee cups by the machine. No slippers and no house cost. Unlike many hotels where membership gets some perks. Room was clean and the staff most courteous.

I had a great stay here for two nights. The first night was a bit tough since there were many kids running and shouting after 10 pm. However, I still gave this property five stars because the front desk took my call seriously and took actions immediately to solve this issue. The staff at this property are professional, friendly, and willing to help. Highly recommend!

This appears to be a newer property, common areas are clean and well kept. My room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The hotel is less than a 5 minute drive to a suburban shopping and restaurant area (Keg, Swiss Chalet, burger joints, asian, etc.). The gym and pool were well supplied and clean. Would definitely stay here again.

Unfortunately being close to the highway makes it a little noisy but it does make it convienient for travel. Free breakfast from 7am - 10am only on the weekends and I stayed through Monday and missed it by 5 minutes because it's only until 9:30am on weekdays. Yes I should have read the sign but I had a lot on my mind being there for a funeral. The front desk didn't suggest there being a different time for the weekday. Just food for thought that it might have been mentioned. The breakfast was fine but some bacon and some form of potato would have been a wonderful addition.
