Location is ideal. Rooms are clean and nicely laid out. Parking should be included with hotel stay, but is chargeable at 30 a day.

Rooms had a weird smell I can’t explain it, almost like it was just painted. But I can tell you it wasn’t. Bathroom shower had mold in the grout. Shower head didn’t have water coming out of all the holes. Hot and cold water was opposite and not labeled. ( found out the hard way by it burning my hands) pool and hot tub not working so they offered us to go to the hotel next door ( not really convenient in -20) when leaving hotel watch the snow guy just pile the snow at my car! Instead of at the end of the walk way. Breakfast was ok. Wish the hot food was hot though. Definitely not happy overall.

I strongly do not recommend this hotel. I stayed for one night on December 23rd, and the experience was unacceptable. The room windows provided virtually no sound insulation, and constant traffic noise from Division Street made sleeping impossible. The air-conditioning system was malfunctioning and offered cooling only, with no heating at all. The water dispenser was not working, and the breakfast quality was poor, with eggs served cold. Additionally, the hotel was filled with religious symbols throughout the property, which felt inappropriate and unprofessional for a commercial hospitality environment.
