We love the streamside room that we had. Having our own private balcony to sit out on and listen to the stream bubble was so relaxing. The breakfast had a decent amount of options. We were also within just a few miles of shopping options and some really nice nature parks.

We stayed here for a quick overnight on our way up to Niagara Falls. While this hotel is a bit dated and could probably use an upgrade, the stay was pleasant. I have to say that a friendly staff goes a very long way and I don’t think you could find a much nicer staff. From check-in, to the bar at night, to breakfast in the morning, to check out, everyone we encountered was extremely friendly and went out of their way to make your stay comfortable. The room itself was nice enough. Just a little old and rundown. Shower was good and had plenty of water pressure. Plenty of choices at the breakfast buffet. There are a couple of bars that stay open late at night that are part of the hotel. You don’t have to even walk outside to get to them. Overall I’d recommend the hotel.
