I will probably be back. It's a nice place and the staff was great. But, they no longer offer the airport shuttle ( which was the main reason I selected this hotel for my stay in Waterloo) that caused some stress but, thankfully I was able to work out another mide of transportation.

It was not so good. I’ve stayed many times but not too happy. I didn’t have access to get into my room and had to keep going to the desk about my keys not working. It was frustrating because I had plans and it slowed me down a lot.
