Notre porte de salle de bain était difficile et nous sommes resté embarré. Impossible d'utiliser la piscine avec tous les adolescents qui sautaient et lançait un ballon de football d'un bout a l'autre de la pièce. Repas du resto bien mais manque de variété et de quantité.

What a cozy place to stay! We felt at home. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. The hotel was kept clean. It is great for families like us! The room was warm and cozy, clean and the layout is great. The hotel offers breakfast but we never tried. They also have a hot beverage station which was a huge hot, especially hot chocolate before heading out for winter fun activities! Parking was very convenient. Never tried the pool, but we saw a lot of people go to enjoy. We will definitely be back!

The room was very clean. We really appreciated the many lamps in the room, giving us good lighting to see and read. The staff were very courteous and professional. We had to change room from the 9th floor because of an annoying continuous low 60 Hz hum from some electrical equipment - probably on the roof.

Une très belle vue, ça doit être super agreable en été...taches de café sur le mur arrière de la télé. Je m'en suis aperçu en ramassant quelque chose que j ai échappé. Tapis semblait pas être aspirer. J'éternue quand y a de la poussiere. Difficile de rechauffer la chambre. J'ai du dormir habillé la 2e nuitée. L hotel est très bien situé facile de revenir du centre ville et de sortir vers l'autoroute.
