The staff at the front desk were super. They had lots of information on restaurants and how to get back to the freeway the next day. There was also covered parking for our motorcycles. Much appreciated. The only downside was the breakfast. The food was just okay. I’ve had better at chain hotels.

The receptionist was very welcoming and helpful. The location is right in downtown, you can walk to restaurants. The pool was not super clean, several cigarette butts in the water, trash laying around. Our bathroom was not very clean- hair everywhere. The breakfast was ok. The AC unit in the room was too noisy to keep it on.

Cela fait plusieurs fois que nous allons à cet hôtel, c'est un bel emplacement, le service est très courtois. Personnel très accueillant et souriant, et tout spécialement Chris, qui a répondu à une demande suite à un problème, il a trouvé un arrangement, nous étions plus que satisfaits. Notre séjour a été plus qu'agréable. Nous y retournerons encore, c'est certain. Merci. Line et Pierre

Family friendly!
Upon arrival, the keys keys didn't work. It was late and we were traveling with children. Chris was quick to try new cards and then give us a new room. He was calm and polite. He gave us a discount and a bag of goodies for the kids. Our room was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast options were great compared to pther places we have stayed. We would stay here again!
