    Hotel was as expected for a 4 star hotel, no complaints. Room was clean, a little dated but clean. Only downside was it smelled like weed as soon as you pull into the parking lot. Then again, at 2am when it seeped into my room. The smell must have awoken me because it was so potent as if someone was smoking outside my door.

    We felt welcomed the moment we walked through the doors thanks to Peter who checked us in very efficiently! He was so kind & courteous & had a great sense of humor. Our room was very clean as was the laundry area. Enjoyed the pancakes in the morning & watching the cool machine that made them. I’d definitely recommend this hotel.

    Right from walking into hotel until the time we left staff was professional and helpful. We were fairly and our room wasn’t quite ready so they escorted us to the lounge and coffee area. Very clean and nice hotel. Would recommend stay here again.
