Our family enjoys staying here. It is convenient to the Entertainment Centre which is where my daughter performs every year in her dance concert. The staff are always friendly and too happy to help. Rooms are lovely and plenty for what we need. This stay we got upgraded to a one bedroom king suite which was absolutely swank! We loved it!
