Dirty hotel, bad rude service, small parking lot, homeless all around the hotel. Refused to stay there, actually booked a different hotel and left no refund was or voucher offered. Don't recommend at all.

The staff were kind and quick to help. But they didnt pay much attention to what was missing, like the empty shampoo and no towels. Aswell as what was there from previous people, like food in the fridge. There were matresses standing in the hallway-which is unsafe, and the room wasnt very clean. My wife was bitten by a bug in the room. Please pay more attention when cleaning rooms🙏

When I first arrived there was not much parking outside due to an event happening. Once that cleared there was a lot of parking. The suite was clean. It took about 5 mins to get hot water to the shower but once it was there it was very hot. Overall good stay!

Very upset that there was no breakfast - the option is $10 credit for chips and drinks. Very unhealthy. The breakfast was an important option at the time of the selection. I even phoned the hotel. I was not informed the breakfast is not available anymore.
