Nice, friendly staff. Spacious room but small bathrooms. Long, inconvenient passage to/from parking lot to/from main hotel. Old bathroom, carpets. Loud children screaming and running down the hallways. Loose contacts & inconvenient locations of power outlets.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Half the "activities" are broken or way overpriced. They lie about pricing. Ex. "It's $8 to play mini golf" then we get the bill and the neglected to tell us it's $8 per person (the course is about 20 square feet), rude staff, everything has a charge. I'm actually surprised I got to swim for free. Also no hottub as advertised, or sauna. Extremely disappointed for the price

Hi Luke,Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're sorry to hear about your disappointment and want to address your concerns. We assure you that we strive for transparency in our pricing and apologize if there was any confusion. Just to clarify, it was communicated to you that the price for mini golf is 8 per club and for the bowling alley it is 10. Regarding the amenities, we want to clarify that we do not advertise a hot tub or sauna. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to make things right.

The hotel lobby and check-in is an obstacle course from the surface parking lot at the rear. I find it unbelievable that in this day and age of business trying to accommodate physically challenged patrons that you can ask guests to navigate multiple stairways, doors that have to be held open physically and have no assistance available (bell boys). How did the city approve your facility ?

Our toilet was plugged upon arrival called front desk they sent maintenance right away he plunged toilet seemed all good later that evening when we returned used washroom again and was plugged again maintenance person was gone for the night as it was after midnight they did offer to switch us rooms but being so late didn’t feel like moving we asked for a plunger and they brought one and we plunged ourselves it would fix but then would be blocked again another flush later (this was just after a number 1 with minimal paper use every time) so clearly a deeper plumbing problem this room was having.
