They are the only hotel I’ve seen that opens a conference room for the hockey kids to play mini sticks during a tourney weekend. It was such a great place for the kids to get energy out and even meet kids from other teams. Super cool of them and very grateful for the way they worked WITH it all, not against it.

The manager Ms Cheryl ensured a great experience. There was a reception before dinner time where we networked and met other guests. The rooms were clean and tidy. The overall experience was positive.
