If I could attach the pictures I took of the room I was in, it would definitely support our low rating of the condition of the room . When I brought it to the managers attention , her reply was “if you wanted modern amenities, this is not the hotel for you”…..WOW..!!!! I replied that I’m not looking for “modern” , I’m looking for a clean and well maintained room , which this hotel offers neither. This does not even touch on the sub par breakfast buffet that was offered. My recommendation would be to choose another hotel.
The location is very convenient. It’s near downtown area. There’s a lot of dining options around and public transportation is just in front of the property. The walls are too thin though that you can hear everything. Some maintenance can be done in the rooms, too ie, squeaky door in the washroom that hardly closes and broken shower head. We were just there for a short time so we didn’t bother asking for another room instead. Otherwise, it was a pretty decent stay.
The only issue I had is the first night we stayed there. There was a fire place smoke smell throughout the building and when you're partially allergic to smoke, it's not a very good environment.

Service was great but property is showing its age.
The only downside was the hot tub was not managed close enough. Too much chlorine was added. Had itch and burning eyes because of it. Possibly should consider not allowing children into hot tub.
