Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Breakfast buffet was great. Coligny is within walking distance. Celebration Park and playground is accessible from the back of the hotel. Getting into or back to the hotel 10pm or later, parking is tricky. There's some garage parking spots, some paved spots with lines around the front, a few handicap spots and EV ports, but the overflow into the back is gravel without anything to really guide people on distance between cars. Be cautious and ask the front desk if you find yourself in a predicament or can't find a spot.

The staff were friendly, kind and patient. The hotel was, neat and orderly. But, we were disappointed in how old the building was. The showerhead had a lot of corrosion on it. The shower handle could be turned either direction to be turned on or off. The toilet was not stable, so when sitting down on the seat, there would be movement. It was not what we expected.

My stay was fine at this hotel. Very quiet and nice walk to the beach from there. My toilet did not work well and it would not flush. I stood over it many times. Each time I got it to work eventually except the last day. Bed was comfortable TV was good.
