Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Great location! Super attentive staff. Immaculately clean. Plus a large car park with no tight spaces.
Oh, definitely stay here again. Great hotel awesome rooms. Customer service couldn’t be more helpful. Great breakfast great beds can’t say enough about this place. Highly recommend this hotel.
The staff was extremely accommodating & and hotel was clean & efficient! Breakfast was exceptional with many options. Very happy with my overall experience.
We love how big the room was and very clean. We love the layout of the bathroom too. The hotel is walking distance to the arena which made it convenient for our event. The Family Mart right by the hotel was also a wonderful feature.
Nice new hotel, but the beds are extremely hard and quite uncomfortable. The service is really good, though, and the restaurant is decent (better for lunch than breakfast, in my opinion).
