Room key didn’t work, got another room, no remote control (tv satellite not working), then had to ask for toilet paper. Woken at 3 am by a screaming woman. Our son ended up staying with his brother at his house instead of in hotel room.

I booked 2 rooms with 2 queen bed then I got 1 room with king bed and the bathroom was very bad so horrible, water was coming out from under the toilet, the bathtub was stained and rusty. Arrived late at night and had no choice, I needed to sleep. I couldn't shower because I was so disgusted.That was not the room that appears when I booked online.

This property is an absolute sh*thole now! Pre-covid is was our family's favourite Buffalo hotel. Clean rooms, great amenities and friendly helpful staff. We had stayed there at least 4x. Now I would prefer a prison cell over a room. We asked for a extra pillow at the desk. They claimed they don't have any. Our room was beside a unit that was condemned (one of multiple on the property). There was no office chair at the desk. No second single chair in the room. No washcloths, a broken microwave and we had to go back to the desk to get a roll of toilet paper. Which we were met with indignation about as well! There is no PLUS at this location. The owners should be forced to stay in it for a week (assuming the don't catch a biohazard) exposure. A complete unprofessional joke!

Had to change rooms twice and still it was barely tolerable. It’s in now way worth the price and no way would I stay again. They really should be refunding me. First room/night no sleep with constantly running toilet and room was icky. Second room was better but AC wasn’t working right and toilet running again. Switched to third room and was awakened by screams of terror! Still don’t know if it was human or animal. Absolutely the worst hotel stay I’ve ever had! The photos online, while not setting expectations high, are still very inaccurate. Room furniture is beat, missing, or not functional. Staff tried but it just wasn’t enough.
