Friendly staff and great level of service. My only negative (from a foreigner) would be the food - it was very average/below average, but affordable. They did upgrade our room free of charge when our hot water didn’t work and they were very kind and accommodating when I asked for late check out (we left very late and they didn’t charge any extra for it) they also helped arrange taxi rides at the front desk. Overall, very good stay 👍 ##### Rocco Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Boutique Hotels in Old Quebec](https://www.expedia.ca/Old-Quebec-Quebec-City-Hotels-Boutique-Hotel.0-n6058216-0-tBoutiqueHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Rosewood Bermuda](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Parish-Hotels-Rosewood-Bermuda.h2425532.Hotel-Information) > > [Spa Hotels in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Spa-Hotel.0-0-d178314-tSpaHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Capsule Hotels YVR Airport Station](https://www.expedia.ca/YVR-Airport-Station-Capsule-Hotels.d6215588-aaCapsuleHotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Shangri-La Hambantota](https://www.expedia.ca/Hambantota-Hotels-Shangri-La-Hambantota.h15083331.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Saskatoon Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Saskatoon-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-And-Suites-Saskatoon-Airport-Saskatchewan.h10911879.Hotel-Information) > > [Weligama Bay Marriott Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Weligama-Hotels-Weligama-Bay-Marriott-Resort-Spa.h19413442.Hotel-Information) > > [Weligama Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Weligama-Hotels-Weligama-Bay-Resort.h1487820.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Puerto Rico Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Rico-Island-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d180021-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Comfort Inn & Conference Centre Toronto Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Pearson-Hotel-And-Conference-Centre-Toronto-Airport.h6196.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-Royal-Zanzibar-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive.h5563953.Hotel-Information) > > [Fontainebleau Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Fontainebleau-Miami-Beach.h1190549.Hotel-Information) > > [Stoco Lake Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Belleville-Hotels-Stoco-Lake-Lodge.h63878604.Hotel-Information) > > [FOX JAFFNA by Fox Resorts](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaffna-Hotels-FOX-JAFFNA-By-Fox-Resorts.h17399149.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Cambridge - Waterloo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kitchener-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Cambridge-Waterloo.h441178.Hotel-Information) > > [98 Acres Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ella-Hotels-98-Acres-Resort-Spa.h15504051.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Le Rivage](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Spa-Et-Hotel-Le-Finlandais.h3989831.Hotel-Information) > > [Aparthotels Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Apart-Hotels.d178296-aaApartHotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels with Waterslides in Seattle](https://www.expedia.ca/Seattle-Hotels-Hotels-With-Waterslides.0-0-d178307-tHotelswithWaterslides.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Riu Sri Lanka - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Ahungalla-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Sri-Lanka-All-Inclusive.h14754284.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Auckland (AKL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/akl/vancouver-to-auckland) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Sedona (SDX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/sdx/toronto-to-sedona) > > [Flights from Miami (MIA) to Puerto Vallarta (PVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mia/pvr/miami-to-puerto-vallarta) > > [Flights from Sidney (YYJ) to Palm Springs (PSP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyj/psp/victoria-to-palm-springs) > > [Flights from Kelowna (YLW) to New York (JFK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ylw/jfk/kelowna-to-new-york) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Frankfurt (FRA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/fra/montreal-to-frankfurt) ### Cars > [Sportscar Car Rentals in Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Sportscar-Car-Rentals-In-Calgary.d178245-tSportscar.Car-Rental-Guide-Class) ### Packages > [Playa del Carmen Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen.d601751.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Bethesda](https://www.expedia.ca/Bethesda.dx6057493)
