Love staying here as the halfway point between Ottawa and Moncton. Le Boreal (restaurant) is amazing. Including very fair prices for the quality. My only issue was the huge amount of unchaperoned kids. In the pool rendering it useless and up and down the hallway shouting. That’s more on the parents than the hotel, but advertising a water slide in the pool, that’s what you’re going to get. Accomodating for our dog. Walkout room. $35 for the dog extra, unless service animal. All in all a good stay. Oh and room service was quick and very professional.

If you don't like the smell of Chlorine or screaming kids make sure you don't get a pool view room. Smell is overpowering and kids can be pretty shrill. Other than that the hotel has no problems. I did book a non pool view one but once we got to room discovered it was pool one and was too tired to go switch it and move stuff.

My stay had both highs and lows. The smart TV in my room wasn't functional, and though the hotel staff tried to assist, they couldn't resolve the issue. The room itself was clean and comfortable, with a nice bed and sofa, but its balcony faced the indoor pool, leading to a constant humid, chlorine-like smell. On the positive side, parking was convenient, and having a Tesla supercharger nearby was a great perk.
