Loved staying at the property. Only dislike I had was that the housekeeping staff knocked on my hotel room door at 9:45am and I am unsure why. I booked only one night and I didn’t appreciate being woken up so early.

Despite contacting the front desk to let them know that my shower had hairs on the floor and on the wall, nobody came to clean. I was there for 2 nights, the room was not cleaned at all, despite reporting the hairs to 2 different staff members who supposedly told housekeeping. I had to clean the shower stall myself with the hotel towels so I could shower.

I used the main floor washroom and noticed it wasn’t cleaned in the day or so since I went into it last. It had the same soapy water marks left from the day before. Food was pretty good. Staff for front desk were sometimes hard to find. Rooms have no info on how to dial front desk from the room. I asked for 2 blankets but was told they were running low and I got 1 extra blanket instead. Pool is cloudy but very warm. Room was a bit crowded. Not a lot of space to move between deal and beds. Desk chair was in the way a lot. It was a fair price for the experience. Staff were polite.

Unfortunately, we had to change rooms because the one we checked into had a broken door and a tilted bed. Additionally, we had a noisy neighbour next door who wouldn't stop talking loudly, which was quite annoying for the kids and us. However, the staff were very helpful and changed our room without any questions. On a positive note, the breakfast was excellent for a location like this.

The pool was extremely dirty. In addition, the water was cloudy and milky. Debris was floating and also below surface. Access to then pool was restricted unless front desk opened door. Room, bedding and bathroom was clean. TV was newer and overall the hotel was reasonably priced. Good breakfast for on the run.

The staff is FANTASTIC and helpful, the facilities are great but the upkeep and cleanliness is where they fail. I don't think it's the end of the world if you find dental floss behind your bathroom door or a hair or two in the bathtub. But i definitely know it's not everyone that could handle that. I had 2 rooms and both had toilet issues (water flowing constantly). Breakfast is amazing, everything you need to get your day going. If your looking for a roof a clean bed and a shower, book now. If you're looking to be amazed by your experience. This is not the Ritz
