In the advertising the room it mentions breakfast included this was not the case and i am very much upset about this fall advertising. ##### Nadine Ruby Ruthlin Stayed 1 night in Nov 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Vincent Feb 10, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The pics of the property are misleading. The rooms are very basic. Dated and sparse. I arrived at 3pm and the room was not ready. I had to wait until 5pm as the cleaners were out. I never saw any cleaners and my room was never freshened for the 4 days. There was also never anyone at the front desk. Never! Had to clean hair out of the drain pipe in order for shower to drain. There was a strong smell of marijuana coming from rooms, even though it was a no smoking property. No soap was provided so I had to walk down the street at 10pm looking for some. It really was a bad experience. I was warned but had booked beforehand and the booking was nonrefundable. I'm not one to complain and I've stayed in some unusual places but I will never stay here again. ##### Vincent Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tara-Mahalia Sep 13, 2025 ##### Tara-Mahalia Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Zinae Apr 17, 2025 ##### Zinae Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Tamara Nov 10, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Tamara Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Harry Nov 14, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities ##### Harry Stayed 1 night in Nov 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Gallery Hotel Art - Lungarno Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Florence-Hotels-Gallery-Hotel-Art-Lungarno-Collection.h14614.Hotel-Information) > > [Pet-friendly Hotels in Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d178288-tPetfriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Abidah by Accra - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Oistins-Hotels-The-Abidah-By-Accra-Adults-Only.h21962411.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in New York](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d178293-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Sands Barbados All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Worthing-Hotels-The-Sands-Barbados-All-Inclusive.h12637259.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Bliss Barbados](https://www.expedia.ca/Worthing-Hotels-The-Royal-Bliss-Barbados.h80368508.Hotel-Information) > > [Millennium Hotel and Conference Centre Gloucester London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Millennium-Gloucester-Hotel-London-Kensington.h523228.Hotel-Information) > > [Leith Court Beachfront Apartments by RedAwning](https://www.expedia.ca/Worthing-Hotels-Leith-Court-Beachfront-Apartments.h17149896.Hotel-Information) > > [Coral Sands Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Worthing-Hotels-Coral-Sands-Beach-Resort.h4024474.Hotel-Information) > > [Avenue Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Avenue-Motel.h16787598.Hotel-Information) > > [Butterfly Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Oistins-Hotels-Butterfly-Beach-Hotel.h118715.Hotel-Information) > > [Coconut Court Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Hastings-Hotels-Coconut-Court-Beach-Hotel.h852938.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Bridgetown, Barbados](https://www.expedia.ca/Hastings-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Bridgetown.h4071718.Hotel-Information) > > [The Soco Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Hastings-Hotels-The-Soco-Hotel.h6456511.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Waterloo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kitchener-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Waterloo.h8420223.Hotel-Information) > > [Golden Sands Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Oistins-Hotels-Golden-Sands-Hotel.h7218.Hotel-Information) > > [Yellow Bird Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Lawrence-Gap-Hotels-Yellow-Bird-Hotel.h1287831.Hotel-Information) > > [Savannah Beach Club Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Hastings-Hotels-Savannah-Beach-Club-Hotel-Spa.h527642.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Disneyland® Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Disneyland-Resort-Hotels.0-l6025613-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Chicago (ORD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/ord/halifax-to-chicago) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Port-au-Prince (PAP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/pap/toronto-to-port-au-prince) > > [Flights from Schwechat (VIE) to Mississauga (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/vie/yyz/vienna-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Nice (NCE) to Naples (NAP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/nce/nap/nice-to-naples) ### Cars ### Activities ### Packages > [Isla Holbox](https://www.expedia.ca/Isla-Holbox.d6046459.Destination-Travel-Guides)
