Upon arrival, our Uber driver had a hard time finding the entrance. Why? Because the weathered sign doesn't make it clear as to where or if there's a lobby. ##### Timothy Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Nicolaas Cornelis Aug 4, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Wij komen niet meer terug. Nauwelijks te vinden. Soort van weggestopt. Wordt totaal geen Engels gesproken. Ziet er op de foto’s een stuk mooier en moderner uit dan in het echt. In de ochtend kan er nauwelijks een goedemorgen af. Geen idee hoe het werkt met het ontbijt. De medewerkster staat achter de balie soort van administratie te doen. Wordt niet gevraagd of je een kop koffie wilt of hoe het ontbijt in zijn werk gaat. Ook niet als je al 20 minuten aan tafel zit. Als er vervolgens een Duits gezin de kamer uit komt die vrolijk begroet wordt met een kop koffie is dat voor mij een teken om uit te checken en elders te ontbijten. Bij uitchecken kwam in het Spaans pas de vraag voor het ontbijt. Dat was 20 minuten te laat. Bedden zijn redelijk hoog maar wel comfortabel. ##### Nicolaas Cornelis Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Max Aug 4, 2024 ##### Max Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Cheap Hotels in Edmonton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d180002-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Pines Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Bass-Lake-Hotels-The-Pines-Resort.h21674.Hotel-Information) > > [Rondel Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Negril-Hotels-Rondel-Village.h548250.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Meridian Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Vermilion-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Meridian-Hotel.h1707050.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Cala d'Or](https://www.expedia.ca/Cala-DOr-Hotels.d6050485.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Westin Bayshore, Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-The-Westin-Bayshore.h14477.Hotel-Information) > > [Mandarin Oriental, Barcelona](https://www.expedia.ca/Barcelona-Hotels-Mandarin-Oriental.h3013270.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Otonabee Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Otonabee-Inn.h24013.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Edmundston Hotel & Conference Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmundston-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Edmunston-Hotel-Conference-Center.h251.Hotel-Information) > > [The St. Regis Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-The-St-Regis-Toronto.h4109199.Hotel-Information) > > [Buenaventura Grand Hotel & Great Moments - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-Buenaventura-Grand-Hotel-Great-Moments-All-Inclusive.h10481.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Saskatoon](https://www.expedia.ca/Saskatoon-Hotels.d4117.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Comfort Inn Laval](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Laval.h103.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Denver (DEN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/den/calgary-to-denver) > > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Las Vegas (LAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/las/halifax-to-las-vegas) > > [Flights from Delhi (DEL) to Mohali (IXC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/del/ixc/delhi-to-chandigarh) > > [Harbour Air Seaplanes](https://www.expedia.ca/Hello-Jets-Flights.cH3.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Honolulu (HNL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/hnl/vancouver-to-honolulu) > > [Flights from Orlando (MCO) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mco/yyz/orlando-to-toronto) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Albuquerque](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Albuquerque.d602663.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Enterprise Car Rentals In Trenton](https://www.expedia.ca/Enterprise-Car-Rentals-In-Trenton.d10615-c15.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) > > [Car rentals in Bracebridge](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Bracebridge.d59252.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Cruise > [Carnival Cruises](https://www.expedia.ca/Carnival-Cruise-Lines.cCV.Cruise-Line-Info) > > [Cruises to Caribbean](https://www.expedia.ca/Cruises-to-Caribbean.d6022969.Travel-Guide-Cruise) ### Packages > [Grande Allée](https://www.expedia.ca/Grande-Allee-Centre-Ville.d6155225.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Texas Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Texas.d245.Destination-Travel-Guides)
