Daily helped us in upgrading our room and also assisted in booking transportation to our next destination. Having friendly after hours security is comforting. There was some construction going on next to the pool but that will only make it better in the future. ##### Travis Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vladimir Oct 31, 2022 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Thank you for a good job!!! ##### Vladimir Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [JR-East Hotel Mets Shibuya](https://www.expedia.ca/Tokyo-Hotels-JR-EAST-HOTEL-METS-SHIBUYA.h20291399.Hotel-Information) > > [KOKO HOTEL Residence Asakusa Kappabashi](https://www.expedia.ca/Tokyo-Hotels-KOKO-HOTEL-Residence-Asakusa-Kappabashi.h82926892.Hotel-Information) > > [Americana Waterpark Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Americana-Waterpark-Resort-And-Spa.h918753.Hotel-Information) > > [Hawberry Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Northeastern-Manitoulin-And-The-Islands-Hotels-Hawberry-Motel.h12586513.Hotel-Information) > > [Cupecoy Beach Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Lowlands-Hotels-Cupecoy-Beach-Club.h53831899.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Ogunquit](https://www.expedia.ca/Ogunquit-Hotels.d55878.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Rosen Plaza on International Drive](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Rosen-Plaza-On-International-Drive.h7372.Hotel-Information) > > [Dreams Playa Mujeres Golf & Spa Resort - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Dreams-Playa-Mujeres-Golf-Spa-Resort.h13363267.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Spain](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Spain.d166.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Hotel el descanso del Guia](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Ayora-Hotels-Hotel-El-Descanso-Del-Guia.h17525206.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Ontario by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Ontario-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Ontario.h2117417.Hotel-Information) > > [Casino Hotels in Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Casino-Hotel.0-0-d178294-tCasinoHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Ste.
