The hotel was undergoing renovations at the time of my visit which made me not enjoy my stay very much. My booking on Expedia gave me a quote in USD but upon getting to Canada, the hotel staff used some different conversion in Canadian dollars which put my bill at over $300 more. I felt cheated by the hotel

The room was not clean. The air condition was not good and the sign that they are monitoring the carbon monoxide did not inspire confidence. My wife did not feel safe walking out side and the front desk staff mentioned that it could be dangerous going out side after 11:00 pm.
