Very friendly staff. Parking lot could be revamped, difficult to get in and out of parking spaces when hotel at near capacity. Covered garage on property was much better condition to park in when space available. Breakfast not included but available at on site restaurant but we did not eat on premises. Indoor pool was ideal for our 3 year-old granddaughter on rare occasion of down time from sight seeing and shopping. Bonus near seen in parking lot near outdoor pool!

The property was near downtown, you could walk everywhere, which is convenient so you don't have to drive and pay for parking. The room was clean, but quite small. The TV was outdated and there was no microwave. Where our room was located, there was no direct line to the heated indoor pool, so we had to go outside in the cold to get to and from the pool. Would maybe stay here again if there was no better option.

I've been staying at Sidney James since 2009. With that being said, I have never had such uncomfortable mattress in all my visits to there. Really disappointed that there was no microwave in the room. Maintenance was right on spot when we had issues with the frig. Over all, it was a good visit except for the beds.

The room is way outdated, my wife cut her knee on the trim around the tub and I told the front desk and it wasn’t fixed . The grab handle in the tub came out when my wife try to grab it to stand up . There was feces from a bear at the bottom of the stairs. I informed them at the front desk and they never cleaned it up. We. Ended up using the other stairs the rest of are stay . Very disappointed. I had to ask then to clean the room and give us fresh toilets . We have stayed there at least 6 times but this was the last time. My wife was extremely disappointed and ready to stay about all the kind of employment. They act like it was no big deal.
