The location is great. Close to Kensington and many other amenities. It’s going through a renovation, but I had one of the renovated rooms which was really nice. I had a weird smell coming into the room through the heating unit. We let the front desk know and they were very eager to help. I don’t think it was anything to do with the service though. They offer a really nice breakfast. Great perk.

Great bang for your buck!

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast options were good. Rooms were clean. Hotel a bit outdated, but was great for the price. We got locked out of our room three times as the key wasn’t working. Location was also great. A little detail we loved was that the hand soap was liquid!

It was. But not enough towels. Especially when we tried to use the jacuzzi tub. Also, something mechanical was loud enough that then it turned on it woke us up
