Great family hotel

Great stay, the pool was a good size and the kids loved the waterslide. Only downfall of the hotel was one elevator was down so a lot of waiting for the elevator or going up and down to get where you’re going.

One month ago When I booked the room they accepted my debit card but a day before my reservation they called me and asked me about another credit card and I didn’t trust them to give my information because I have to many spam calls and I said I will tell you tomorrow when I get there Yesterday when I get there they told me my room is not available and they gave me a new room but it was beside street and wasn’t the same as what I reserved and had plans for my kids I frastrided with that and it wasn’t what I expected

The hotel overall was great. Breakfast: very good selection Parking: free Staff: kind and relaxed Pool and Slide: pool water was warm and clean (steps may need repainting but overall great) Location: only a short drive to Bayers Lake. Can walk to Tim Hortons, and a gas station 30 seconds away. - easy access to the highway. Snack shop: basic snacks; chips, pop, ramen, cotton candy. Room: beds were soft but good, safe in the room, had trouble with the cooling but maintenance was in the room as soon as we left (check that the controls work before bed time) - what we were not told was that there were private swim classes Monday/Wednesday 430-730, but we were fortunately there before the lessons. It was what we expected, and would stay again.

When booking our stay, we were unaware that the hotel is primarily used as government housing for the homeless. As a guest traveling with my two small children, I felt unsafe due to certain activities occurring in and around the hotel. Given the rate of $300 per night, I believe it would be appropriate to inform future guests about the predominant nature of the property. Additionally, I have deep sympathy for the challenges the staff face under these circumstances.
