Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I booked a room online for my employee. She has a bad allergy to strong fragrances and can not breathe in areas with strong smells. The Inn had FOUR air fresheners installed around/in her room, but the staff/manager refused to remove them. They gave her a fan and told her to open the outside door, but it was freezing outside! She couldn't stay, and the manager refused a partial refund. The staff rudely asked her if she was leaving already as she waited for her ride to pick her up! I understand I should have verified if the Inn used fragrances, but the level of service was very disappointing. I'm never booking here again.

I couldn't get my safe to work -- told the front desk by phone & no one came up to help me. I told them 2 more times in person that I thought the battery was dead & it was never fixed. & Front desk staff seemed more interested in conversing on the telephone while I stood in front of him rather than greeting me & checking me in. I DID really like the room -- no carpet & it felt clean. I also liked the kitchenette with a great kettle, real dishes and utensils AND real mini milks & creams for coffee/tea. There was coffee and tea always available in the breakfast area too. And a code to be buzzed in as a guest from outside, so it felt safer. It's also within a quick walk to lots of food, a big mall, and Rideau canal! For skating! Id stay here again. Great value
