"We had an excellent experience at this hotel! From the moment we arrived, everything was welcoming, comfortable, and enjoyable. The accommodations were clean and well-maintained, and the staff was friendly, professional, and attentive. It was clear that guest satisfaction was a priority. The only minor hiccup during our stay was a billing issue. However, once we brought it to the staff’s attention, it was handled professionally and resolved to our satisfaction. We truly appreciated their willingness to make things right. Overall, this was a wonderful stay, and the small billing issue certainly wouldn't keep us from returning. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to others!"

"Loved it so much we tried to book an extra night but it was full. We were offered to pay a nominal amount for an upgraded room which included parking, breakfast, mini bar and access to executive lounge and was well worth it. Our room was fabulous, large and modern. Coffee pod machine was a nice touch. Great location right next to main shopping area. Breakfast was outstanding with a large selection of items. Parking was located in underground parkade with elevator to rooms which was handy with luggage. oFront desk were friendly and helpful, nly negative is they are sticklers for check in time, 3pm no exceptions.
