Overall it's a middle class family hotel, if you intend on having a peacefully stay ,it is not the place for you. The hotel is located near everything ...look up for The Pyramid if your looking for food during your stay . The room was ok overall considering the age of the building ...

Horrible parking layout. Basic services are hard to get ( room cleaning/ fresh sheets or towels), pool area was not clean or upkept. Water damage and leaking in hallways. Very limited tv, beds uncomfortable, no decor. Very noisy, and way too expensive for what you get. This place needs major renovations and new management.

An average experience

An affordable option. Overall condition of the hotel wasn’t great. They don’t clean the rooms during your stay unless told to 24hrs in advance. If you go to the Boston pizza that’s attached you have to go through the pool area. Not a huge problem. But they close the pool area at 10:00pm. So if you’re at Boston pizza past 10pm and it’s winter you need to walk back outside.

Décevant pour le prix. Le chambre donnait sur le stationnement, bruyant. La chambre était mal insonorisée, on entendait les discussions dans le hall d’entrée, la distributrice à boissons gazeuses. Il y avait un menu pour le restaurant et une télé, mais aucune feuille d’instruction avec le numéro pour les commandes aux chambres, les postes de télévision, les services offerts ou les restaurants à proximité. À 700$ pour deux nuits, je m’attendais à une expérience plus luxueuse, moins motel. Le lit était cependant très confortable.

Good place to stay but it is not quiet... there was a lot of kid running around and lot of noise too . Hockey tournament maybe ! Great stay for a family but not so much If you search a quiet place. The room is ok. Not any desk in the bathroom had to put our things on the floor. It's old but clean.

Très boff

Style d'un vieux motel mal entretenue... Le spa est froid, gluant et les jets ne fonctionne pas. les sauna sont limite dangereux car le bois est pourrie a plusieurs endroits. Un très gros boff, le seul point positif ce sont les lits qui était confortable
