When I first arrived there was not much parking outside due to an event happening. Once that cleared there was a lot of parking. The suite was clean. It took about 5 mins to get hot water to the shower but once it was there it was very hot. Overall good stay!

Very upset that there was no breakfast - the option is $10 credit for chips and drinks. Very unhealthy. The breakfast was an important option at the time of the selection. I even phoned the hotel. I was not informed the breakfast is not available anymore.

Between no hot water, a clogged sink, and bass heavy kereoke from the restaurant below, there were some issues. There was however, very kind and warm staff who clearly did their best to mitigate some of the issues within their power.
