Not good

Our stay wasn’t comfortable. There was no proper maintenance in the rooms. We stayed for 7 nights and had to change rooms due to poor air conditioning, a bathroom with water all over the floor, and a faulty combination lock. We also had to replace the tea machine. There were limited service items like cups and spoons—we had to wait for them to be washed and returned.

this hotel is fine for an overnight stay if all you need is a bed before catching an early morning flight. the rooms are large and clean with good air con. as others have notes, the surrounding area is pretty grim (incl a defunct mall by the highway). the breakfast offerings are also not great - we walked 15 mins to the closest shop to grab a bun/bagel instead. take it for what it is - a cheap bed close to the airport before catching a flight.

You get what you pay for, I paid $88 CAD a night. Considering the price being cheaper than most hotels in the area this was a good stay however if I had paid $150 CAD a night I would expect a little more cleanliness in the room as in sheets and pillows and such and a working air conditioner/heater. However there is security and for the most part the hotel can be considered safe, and the service good but the surrounding area is torn buildings and an abandoned mall. There is nothing nearby but it is close to the airport if that’s something you value.
