Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a mix of positive and negative aspects. While the rooms were filthy and in disrepair, making our stay uncomfortable, the hotel also had some well-appointed and comfortable areas. The service was friendly and accommodating, but there were instances of noise disturbances. The location was convenient for shopping and accessing attractions, though the noise from freight trains was disruptive. The dining options were varied, offering a good selection for breakfast. The facilities were passable, but some areas needed improvement.
I found my stay at the hotel to be quite pleasant. The location was a bit confusing to reach but convenient for accessing the highway. The rooms were comfortable and well-located near vending and ice machines, though the early wake-up call from housekeeping was a drawback. The dining options were delicious with a good variety, and the service was overall nice with a lovely breakfast included.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was convenient with plenty of dining options nearby, but the noise from the freight trains was a downside. The service was welcoming and helpful, despite a minor issue with housekeeping waking me up early. The dining experience was decent, but the breakfast area was busy. Overall, I had a mixed experience during my stay.
The hotel was clean and comfortable overall, with friendly staff, but had some issues with privacy due to the close table setup. However, it was ready and suitable for our group during a lacrosse tournament. The location was convenient for shopping and close to the hockey arena, but the noise from the nearby railway tracks was disruptive. The dining experience was good with plenty of choices, although it was dominated by the early-rising hockey team. There were positive and negative aspects to our stay.
