Stayed 2 nights. No housekeeping for the second day. Ran out of Kleenex, shampoo, etc. Room not cleaned and bed not made. Very disappointing to come back to an untouched room.

I’m very disappointed that Expedia charged me $187 USD for this hotel. Expedia took advantage of Family Weekend at TSU and raised the prices for this 2-stars hotel. It didn’t worth the price.

Convenient location for someone travelling through and getting to know the area. The visitor information centre is very close by and that was very helpful and I enjoyed this area right off the main highway. The hotel was quiet and comfortable and exactly what I was looking for.
