Everything was more then excelent! This was the best experience over the last few years here in Canada! Just a little notes we can adjust to make this place even more better: In the dining area it's better to change plastic utensils to more eco friendly material then plastic! Thank you so much for this wonderful stay, wish we could stay more with you!

Well priced, big rooms. Decent breakfast. Beds were too hard. Decor is dated but I’d rather stay in a clean decently priced hotel than an expensive one that is fancy inside.
