Clean hotel. The beds weren't great, no overhead lighting in the rooms, and theres nonfree breakfast for a $300 /night room which seems crazy. The water park was really fun for the kids and the Canad Inns made itnreally convenient. Id stay again but with low expectations

The water slides for the kids was good. Garbonzos was good as well. The walls and doors are paper thin, can hear people talking while you are trying to sleep, doors slamming. Room was not clean and so overpriced, hair on the bed, pee on the toilet, so gross! The staff were so unfriendly as well.

What the heck has happened to the Canadinn?!?. We usually stay here 2 or 3 times a year to got to the Splashers water parkwith our young daughter. We have never had an issue. This time,however... on the front doors, somone had vomited on the door going out, half or more of the arcade games were out of order, there were people openly drinking in the lazy river (maybe this isn't against the rules, not sure,but there shouldn't be empty vodka selzer cans floating along with the tubes,lol), tables were covered in trash, and I kid you not, someone discarded their chew on the side of the walkway between the lazy river and basketball pool. I know labor is tight, but holy heck Canadinn, get you stuff together. I hope this doesn't signal a trend...

Amenities not up to par

Hot tub was out of service and we weren’t notified like tree front desk said they were doing to customers the day prior, arcaded closed early and didn’t extend hours on Monday except for a school coming in, pool bathrooms were gross and not clean. The pool water temperature was freezing and the amount of choline in the pool made my kids eyes water and cough to the point that we had to leave. Was very upset about this experience and the fact that both in g was done to compensate us after driving a hour and 1/2 to go to this hotel because of their water park. I won’t be back for a very long time!

Good hotel, could be great

The convenience of having everything you need in the building is great. However, for the price you pay for the rooms some amenities should be included. The breakfast buffet is on par with continental breakfast but you pay $10.99/person. The pool is great but you'll also pay extra to use that. One elevator was also out of order which seems to be common and leads to long waits for the working elevators.

Our stay was overall a pleasant experience. The staff was friendly, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the location was convenient. We especially appreciated the family-friendly atmosphere. However, one major disappointment was that the big water slide and hot tub were out of service during our stay. These amenities were a significant reason we chose this hotel. Despite this setback, we enjoyed the other facilities and had a nice time. If these features are fixed and consistently maintained, this hotel could easily be a top choice for families.

The hotel was nice and fairly clean. We stayed Monday to Tuesday and didn’t realize half the things weren’t open those days. I looked back when we check in and saw no mention of that nor was anything listed in the webpage. The stay was still fun but disappointing we couldn’t experience it all and had no idea about the closure.

Don’t go here.

Hottub not working. Tube slide not working. Pool open to public Saturday and Sunday. Main waterslides and activity center closed Monday and Tuesday. When it’s open to just hotel guests Monday and Tuesday. Complete joke. Drove 7 hrs one way to enjoy this dump of a place. Never again.
