10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed everything about this location they had space for hockey teams to interact. They enforced quite hours so you could sleep. Breakfast was disappointing alot of people eating at one time didnt seem to keep up with demand."

Best Western Fairmont

10/10 Excellent

"Booked last minute while traveling through and needed a quick overnight stay. We were greeted by very friendly staff and even received a thoughtful doggie gift bag for our traveling pup, which was such a nice touch. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean. We didn’t have enough time to enjoy the restaurant or pool, but both looked inviting and well maintained. We would definitely stay here again."
