The room was quiet, clean, and spacious, and the amenities were very well maintained. I loved the cozy fireplace and the vintage books on the shelves! There is plenty of parking, and both the pool and patio areas looked great. The staff were super helpful and friendly. While the buffet breakfast wasn't overly lavish, it still offered a solid variety of options. The location is very convenient—right next to Food Basics, close to A&W and McDonald's, and only about 4 minutes from a gas station. I would definitely recommend staying here!

The front desk employee who checked us in was very friendly and chatty. The building and rooms were definitely old and a bit run down and had a strange smell to the hallways. The housekeeping staff though did an amazing job at keeping everything clean. The mini fridge could have been a bit less ‘mini’ - it was very small. The complimentary breakfast was good on the weekdays where only one cheerful employee ran it (she could definitely use some help). The 2 employees on the weekend were far less friendly and moved very slow. We had to ask for mugs, plates & cutlery and the food ran out despite the amount of people attending breakfast seemed more on the weekdays. Overall, the stay was good, but I feel the rooms could be updated.

I enjoyed my stay at the hotel. Check-in was quick and the front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is a bit dated but well maintained and I was very pleased with my room. It felt like "home". Fireplace, books on the shelf, It had everything I needed. The room itself and bathroom were very clean. The bed was so comfortable and the towels and bedding smelled so fresh! Thanks to the laundry staff! I was on the first floor, east side and it was very quiet. Buffet breakfast had a nice selection of hot and cold items, coffee, tea, juices, etc. Lunch at Tom's Place was really good. A must try. What stood out the most was all the staff at the hotel. They went out of their way to make you feel at home. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
