I travel a lot for work in Canada & United States but this stay was a planned holiday. This Hotel stay was one of the best I've had in Canada and United States in the last 10. Excellent staff with check in & out. Excellent food in the restaurant. Only thing they could use some new pavement in the parking lot, but then again so could all the roads in the province.
