The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel location is excellent. Breakfast buffet was very good with plenty of options. Room was adequate, carpet and shower need upgraded. Family room was quite small for 3 guests. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hotel.

Situated well for shopping, dining out and theatres. The room was clean and tidy. Breakfast was tasty. Parking was available across the road at the Omni Centre - getting a code from the hotel to pre-book into the car park reduced the cost.
