Our stay started off rocky but Derek and Roger and their team made sure we enjoyed the rest of our stay. I can’t thank them enough for the hospitality! They really went above and beyond. I look forward to staying here again in the future.

Skimping on the little things
Stay was good but beds seemed much smaller than queens -- I would swear they were doubles -- and the kitchen equipment lacked a basic container to boil water in like an electric kettle. Toilet paper is also poor quality. For the price, those amenities should be improved.

Modern and clean
One thing I look for in a hotel is how the up keep is. This hotel right from the start at the lobby I could tell was modern and well kept.when I arrived at the room I checked around for cleanliness of the bathroom which even the shower was exceptionally clean as well as for the kitchen, living room and the bed and that I checked as many do for it being clean and changed and it was. The mattress was very comfortable also. The complementary breakfast in the morning was good with a large selection. I was happy with this place and would stay again.

Overall a great stay: reasonable price, clean, safe. it was very convenient to be able to run across the street to the grocery store and pick up food that you could cook right in your room. Parking can be a bit of a bear and the bed could be a little softer 💤. Would definitely stay again.

The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. The "business center" is a joke: just a printer and an ipad that does not even connect to the internet. Also, the parking cost is unreasonable especially for self-parking. And there are not enough spaces. We had to park across the street at a bank.
