Had booked a room through Expedia, however, when I arrived at the hotel, the reservation had not reached the hotel’s reservation system. The Front Desk staff was not very warm or welcoming. After a quick call to Expedia things were sorted out and I was able to get into my room. In regard to my impressions of the property and my room; there is a track the sliding glass door moves on, which caught the wheel of my suitcase and I almost had a fall, a sign would be nice to warn guests. Regarding the room, it was very clean (aside from bath tub which had a few hairs and some grim on the sides as well as a broken drain plug). The room was very modern and beds were comfortable with lots of pillows and blankets. I did not see a coffee maker or ice bucket in the room. It was a quick stay for me so I can’t speak to the gym or pool areas. Check out was quick and easy with no hiccups or wait time. I would definitely stay at the hotel again if I ever end up in Guelph again.

Unacceptable behavior by concierge.

The concierge at night should be fired. We let them know we were going to have a late check in. When we got there he was nowhere to be found and we were stuck outside hotel for 15 min at 2am in the cold. A guest opened door for us and another 15 min passed with nobody. When he finallt emerged his hair was disheveled, his shirt was half untucked and his pants were partially undone. No apologies and all he could do was mumble incoherently. After being on the road 10 hrs this is the last thinf we expected to further delay us getting our room. Unacceptable and complaint has been filed.

Great, cute new hotel. But be forewarned, it’s $100 a night to bring your dog. Other hotels in the area only charge $15-20/night to bring a dog. Won’t return to this hotel because of this fee.

Hotel was clean with friendly staff and the room was spacious enough for our needs. The bathroom was quite small however but was a small factor. We did not receive cleaning on the third day however (they only clean the rooms every other day), which was not a huge issue but we did run out of clean towels. Beds were comfortable, the area was quiet during our stay and was convenient to get around to where we needed to go. The breakfast was the biggest let down unfortunately. They offer 2 kinds of cereal, a small selection of yogurt, 2 kinds of fruit, packaged egg/packaged muffin and bagels with a toaster that barely worked. Smallest breakfast offering that I’ve ever seen at a hotel. Price per night was fair and there is a decent restaurant just down the road that you can walk to for lunch or dinner. Again, it met our needs for this particular trip but I am not sure that I would stay at this particular hotel again the next time I’m in the area.
