The only issue, the underground parking was not available for 2 nights for our 3 night stay. They did offer a satellite parking lot close to the property if the above ground parking lot was full.

The room temperature was high, and I couldn't cool down even though I dialed in at 65F. They seemed to keep the temperature for 70 or up, but the blanket was so warm. That said, I felt very hot if I have the blanket on or feeling cold when slept without it. Adjusting the temperature on the thermostat seems not helping. It only allow to bring temperature higher but not lower. I was feeling not right after the first night. Then I got soar throat and headache after the first night and the third night was getting worse. By the way, something weird happened. At midnight the TV was turned on without screen but playing sound only. I have to turn it off manually in the midnight. It happened again on the second night and ruined my sleeping. On the third and fourth night, I have to unplug the power cord to avoid it happened again. 😆

While the price was right, rooms were fine, the garage door was broken and I couldn’t charge my vehicle. I was informed there was no outlet at the front. The next morning, I was told there was. The pool was wildly busy but to be expected on a long weekend.

Nice Family Weekend
Really enjoyed our stay here. it is in a great location, close to the train and right accross the street from McMahon Stadium. The breakfast was good and the beds were comfortable. The only downside is that the parking is slightly too small for all the hotel guests.
