The breakfast was toast, bagels, muffins etc. The room was clean, but the bathtub could use a better clean. There was plenty of parking. It was good for the 1 night we needed it for.

Leaving out the age, the rooms are always clean, have comfortable beds, abundant hot water, and, Hassan, apologies if spelled wrong, is the most efficient, customer oriented and polite hotel staff for 100km at least. Always handles my simple issues instantly. I stay here for the caring staff more than anyqhere else.

Not bad but not great

Last minute booking and had no other option. It's a nice location on the canal, definitely under renovation and could be cleaned much better. Breakfast is average, no eggs or bacon/sausage, there was pancakes and many other basic options (muffins, toast and juice). It's a comfortable stay for a cheaper one night stop in. Hallways and elevator could use major Reno's. The balcony is nice but not cleaned. You could tell it definitely used to be a nice hotel in its day and has lots of potential to become itself again. Just needs work. Service was very good.
