This hotel is being renovated, which is why it has its drawbacks. However, as long as they are for improvement, it was a good experience for me. The greatest value it provides is having a clean room and super comfortable beds and pillows. I wanted to continue sleeping. The pool, sauna, and gym were also a great experience. The restaurant was a very good experience, and the staff had a very good service attitude. The maintenance guy was great; He changed the television very quickly and with a good attitude due to a previous guest's situation. The only thing is that the heating doesn't turn off. 4.5 stars for me. Good and affordable.
Stayed here for a hockey tournament. My son enjoyed it. He loved the pool!
Had great fun this weekend and was a peaceful stay. Hotel staff were awesome
Were a hockey team. They treated our team very good. Our room was ready before the check in 3pm time which was awesome. The boys had alot of fun. It was super clean. The breakfest was A++ lots to choose from lots of options and nice and hot. Were at alot of hotels and for a hotel to include breakfest this one tops all the rest. Staff was friendly!
Hockey weekend! Great location- close to all things…convenient in house restaurant. Staff friendly and helpful.
Great stay during our hockey tournament weekend. The rooms were clean, staff were friendly.
We had a block of rooms here for my son's wedding. General consensus was that although the hotel is dated, the beds were very comfortable and the rooms clean. We had the rehearsal dinner in the private dining room of the restaurant and the food was very good, the service was excellent. Sarita and the other staff were great to work with. The breakfast buffet had a good variety and plenty of the food choices. I think overall, this location needs some love & care and with time and attention, will be a very good location.
Very friendly and helpful staff! Pool area nice and breakfast was great!
Off Highway 400, this informal hotel is 2 km from trails and a beach at Centennial Park, and 4 km from the MacLaren Art Centre.
