8/10 Good
"Good and clean, the location is great. Good breakfast. The outside of the main entrance has a metal grid section, it was very slippery when it's wet. I felt on it when I walked in. The hotel needs to improve the condition before it happens to others."

"The location isn't the best; it's a bit far from the city center. The hotel itself is great clean with nice rooms though the parking situation is inconvenient, as you have to walk about two blocks to leave your car at a nearby arena's lot. The breakfast is excellent, offering a wide variety of choices. Overall, I’d say the hotel is worth it, and I would stay there again."
