Room was clean and (on this visit) very spacious. Hotel was clean and quiet - exactly what I was looking for. And my kid goes to Carleton - I chose this hotel for its proximity to the school, and I will book there again.

Sadly the soundproofing is nonexistent, you can hear the people in the opposite rooms and whoever is in the hallway very clearly. The rooms and hotel are very clean, however the bar & grill restaurant has an unpleasant basement smell to it. The hotel and restaurant staff were amazing! They were friendly and had no issues making changes when asked, nor was there a fuss when I had asked for more pillows and towels. Check-in and check-out were quite easy and there is tons of parking available.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The room's cleanliness was acceptable but when two bugs crawled up the duvet cover and the other was under my pillow, that put both my husband and I over the top! These were not small bugs either. What started it was the fact that our checking in was delayed by 20 minutes because the room had yet to be cleaned! Had this been the only thing it would have been acceptable but combined with the bugs on/in the bed, as I said, it put us over the top!!! I had read, in the reviews, about bugs but decided to give the hotel a chance since it is a well known chain, I should have known better! I do expect a full refund for our stay and a call from the management. Photo of the bugs to follow
