Great service from staff at the front desk. Both the lady and gentleman was kind and made us feel very welcome with our kids. They were very patient with us while checking in and had a crib at our room for our children before we even made it up to the room ourselves.
We didn't have a chance to use the pool, but the breakfast was a normal contential type breakfast. The staff in the dining area were great too.

We stayed here because my husband had to be at the hospital really early so we didn't get to have the breakfast but they were kind enough to upgrade our room. Very clean and the room was great. Staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Best experience of my life, this is specially because of Kristine, she made sure that I know everything and also helped me to get the cheapest room available at 1 am.

Lovely hotel. Perfect for families, couples or business trips. Big, clean and well lit pool area. Large workout area. The breakfast has something for everyone. Cinnamon buns, breads, English muffins, bagels. Pancakes, in a machine that does all the work for you. Sausages (both pork and seperate turkey ones). Cheese omelets, scrambled eggs, baked beans, hash browns. Cereal, boiled eggs, yogurt cups. Our kids were very happy with the breakfast and the pool. Room was clean and spacious (and our party had 6 people) and they have great quality, full size soap dispensers in the shower...so you don't run out. The area of Oshawa is so-so. But you are conveniently located in the downtown core, 5 minutes from the Oshawa Centre and the highway. if youre staying with a pet, there is a park not far from the hotel and some patches of grass to take them to do thier business. Front desk staff were helpful, professional and very friendly. Great stay.
There is a restaurant attached to hotel, but we didn't use it. I think there was a yuk yuks comedy club too. Sgain--didn't use it so I can't rate it.
