Decent hotel. Right next to train stop which is convenient. Our room freshened everyday which was nice (we stayed a week). My only problem is the pool being too small to swim in and breakfast finishing too early at 9.30. Other than that, we had a lovely stay.

This hotel was great. Staff was friendly, breakfast was delicious and there was lots of places to eat nearby. McMahon stadium was also steps away. However, if you want to ensure a parking spot in the lot, or underground, you have to be back at the hotel early as there’s not quite enough parking.

The manager of this hotel is unethical. I was unable to use the room because of a cancelled flight. He refused to refund the cost of the room or issue a credit. Avoid this place at all costs.

Had the basic things that most family with kids need. Rooms are clean and staff are polite. For breakfast, they have eggs, sausage or bacon, and coffee for the adults. They have pancakes and hot cocoa for kids. Regular breakfast like toast are available too.

The front desk was very welcoming and attentive. I rated it for limited parking as we have GMC 3500 dually and were not confident we could park underground due to height and tight corners. I suggest that the property encourage anyone who registers with a car to park underground so that larger vehicles have a spot to park.
