The staff was great, helpful and really friendly. The breakfast was great with lots of choice. We enjoyed the pool that it went from shallow to deep and it was a good temperature. The chairs in the breakfast cornor were old and not comfortable. There were lots of homeless people in the area around the hotel.

Location was convenient for our business travels. Not the best weekend to stay as there was a hockey team staying at the hotel and the children were very loud and disruptive running up and down the halls yelling out and slamming doors for hours. Very disrespectful for others trying to have a quiet evening. Half the channels on the tv were locked for some reason not much a selection to pick from.
