Nous avons apprécié notre séjour à l’hôtel avec notre petite fille de 2 ans. On a profité de la piscine et du restaurant le soir pour le souper et le matin pour le buffet brunch. La bouffe et le service sont bons mais pour ma part, j’aurais vraiment aimé avoir du granola comme option dans le buffet mais c’est qu’un détail !

Great hotel, not so great service.
The hotel itself is very nice and has an XL parking area for guests which is great. The downside started when I walked in to talk to the front desk to check in - she passed me my keys and didn’t explain any of the amenities: hours of operation for the gym, the pool, the laundry, the restaurant… etc. She said everything I needed would be on this little sheet that was attached to my room key package. I chose this hotel because I wanted to feel safe and comfortable in a nicer hotel in the area, and it almost felt like the service at front desk was more like a 1 star motel. The room itself was super comfortable, and I got room service since I was exhausted from a long drive. It arrived promptly within 25 minutes (you pay for this separately) and the meal was delicious. Overall I enjoyed the actual hotel room, though didn’t even know there was a gym until later so I ended up spending 3 hours in the room watching TV. I would probably try a different hotel next time. Just to see what other ones are like in the area.

Parking was an issue; definitely not enough spaces for handicap parking. Food in restaurant was delicious but expensive. The public pictures do not portray the property accurately, it’s in a congested, high traffic area. Room was clean and comfortable, towels, although clean, showed their age.
