8.4/10 Very Good! (95 reviews)
Disappointed in our stay here. We had laundry to wash, but was unable to dry it due to broken dryer and other one being used. Instead of accommodating us we had to pack our wet laundry to bring home out of province. Myself and my two young children were also outside to use the pool, which we had to get the net ourselves to get bugs and other things out of the pool. We we told it closed at 9, we were late checking in and made it to the pool around 8:15. By 8:30, two men came to us to say the pool was closing and to finish up. It was so uncomfortable overall and not a pleasant last day to our family vacation.

I like everything with the property, the staff are the best!... I stayed 3 nights, and everyone has excellent work ethic.... I spoke to housekeeping, desk staff and restaurant personal... everyone is enthusiastic about their positions... Management should be proud of their hotel and staff... I did mention, the room should have a bottle of water and skin lotion... Other than that, everything was excellent. Sean Q
