Downtown Stay
This was an overnight stay to attend an NHL game. Location and access to the arena was close and smooth. Free covered parking and a nice choice of breakfast. The staff are all friendly and welcoming. Our room was clean and comfortable. I would consider this hotel for future overnight visits.

A great place to stay.
Well located, very close to the tram stop, this is a great place to stay. The hotel is close to places to eat and shop. The staff are very friendly and helpful and actually upgraded my room to a suite. The suite was very comfortable and well equipped. Breakfast was included in the rate which was more affordable than other hotels.

Beds were really comfortable and room was clean and quiet. Wish we had chairs on the balcony, but that was a minor inconvenience. Included parking and breakfast were nice pluses.

The location was great, close to downtown. However the bedsheets had several holes and the room was not as clean as we hoped. Breakfast was okay.

The staff were amazing!! Always friendly and helpful. Cannot fault them at all - thank you to all of the staff.
Management - please buy new bedding!!! All of the sheets and covers had MULTIPLE holes in them (both beds), carpets were sticky and stained (maybe a good clean?!?), paper plates and plastic cutlery for breakfast buffet - not acceptable, breakfast every single morning (with the exception of Labour Day morning as it was a different staff member) was cold!!! Every single morning for 6 days all the “hot” food was cold cause the covers were left up ALL the time by the cook.
The key cards didn’t work in the locks (had to replace once and never worked first go - laundry was minimum 5 goes every time).
Apart from the staff (who were amazing), DO NOT recommend staying here. Very outdated, needs upgrading and a good “spring clean”.
