Auch Lüften brachte nichts. Die Preise für Speisen und Getränke im Restaurant haben wir als unangemessen / sportlich empfunden. Ein kleines Tässchen Cappuccino kostet beim eigentlich inkludierten Frühstück 5 US Dollar. ##### Marei Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Andrea Nov 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Die Anlage war sehr groß und weitläufig. Wir hatten unser Zimmer, obwohl nicht ausgebucht, am äußersten Ende der Anlage. Deswegen brauchten wir überall hin einen Shuttle mit dem Golfcar. Dieser konnte schnell und unkompliziert per WhatsApp gebucht werden. Als wir im Zimmer ankamen, war die AC auf 16 Grad eingestellt. Es brauchte Stunden, bis die Fenster nicht mehr angelaufen waren. Es roch deswegen die ganze Zeit extrem nach Schimmel. Das Zimmer an sich war sehr groß und mit einem wunderschönen Blick. Das Abendessen war auch in Ordnung. Das Personal war jederzeit super freundlich und hilfsbereit. ##### Andrea Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jean Claude Feb 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Jean Claude Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### AELLEEN DEL Feb 15, 2025 ##### AELLEEN DEL Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Staybridge Suites Toronto - Vaughan South by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Staybridge-Suites-Toronto-Vaughan-South.h6756.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Cranbrook](https://www.expedia.ca/Cranbrook-Hotels.d6058315.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Fairmont-The-Queen-Elizabeth.h9483.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with a Pool in Seattle](https://www.expedia.ca/Seattle-Hotels-Hotel-With-Pool.0-0-d178307-tHotelwithPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Leslieville](https://www.expedia.ca/Leslieville-Toronto-Hotels.0-n6348488-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Indigo Phuket Patong by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Phuket-Hotels-Hotel-Indigo-Phuket-Patong.h29752811.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in St. Paul](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Paul-Hotels.d181748.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Bahia Principe Luxury Runaway Bay - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Luxury-Runaway-Bay-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h7229415.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Mexico](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Mexico-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d117-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Home2 Suites by Hilton Edmonton South](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels-Home2-Suites-By-Hilton-Edmonton-South.h29049560.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points By Sheraton Gatineau-Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Gatineau-Ottawa.h17605.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Baixa](https://www.expedia.ca/Baixa-Lisbon-District-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-n179463-0-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Narita (NRT) to Edmonton (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/nrt/yeg/tokyo-to-edmonton) > > [Flights from Toronto (YTZ) to Hamilton (YHM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ytz/yhm/toronto-to-hamilton) > > [Flights from Seattle (SEA) to Vienna (VIE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/sea/vie/seattle-to-vienna) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Bogotá (BOG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/bog/toronto-to-bogota) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Lloydminster (YLL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yll/calgary-to-lloydminster) > > [Flights from Narita (NRT) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/nrt/yvr/tokyo-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Phoenix (SCF)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/scf/toronto-to-scottsdale) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yyc/toronto-to-calgary) > > [Cathay Pacific](https://www.expedia.ca/Cathay-Pacific-Flights.cCX.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Busan (PUS) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/pus/yvr/busan-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Grande Prairie (YQU) to Puerto Vallarta (PVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqu/pvr/grande-prairie-to-puerto-vallarta) ### Packages > [Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park and Zoo](https://www.expedia.ca/Saskatoon-Forestry-Farm-Park-And-Zoo-Saskatoon.d6323209.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Juliet's House](https://www.expedia.ca/Juliets-House-Verona-City-Centre.d6078212.Vacation-Attraction)
