disappointing

Check in did not seem to care about us one way or another. Not happy to see us, apparently. Housekeeping annoyed when we asked for more towels and even acted like it was an unreasonable request. Your people here don't seem to know anything about the hospitality business. Sunday breakfast was sitting around before it opened and no one seemed to be around to clean or refresh the food. I avoided any that was perishable and my companion did not and felt sick all day. You better give this place a look-see

Overall we enjoyed the stay and rhe staff was welcoming. Free breakfast is always a plus witb the kids and staff at the breakfast area was very friendly and accommodating. Room seemed a bit dated but we only stayed there for a night and we were able to have a nice sleep after a long day.

Room was great, staff was friendly at check in. A car in the parkade next to ours got broken into and badly vandalized. There’s a big parking lot across the street that has a large homeless population.
