Half the items on the restaurant menu were not available 2\. The service was really slow… and at times there was no response ( example- in my 6 days of stay they didn’t replace my faulty hair dryer) 3\. The elevators and in general all the rooms had a particular stink… The guy in charge though, Suraj was a good and helpful person but I don’t think he knows the competence of the staff. Well now he will know. They have.a taxi service - please don’t use it if the guy incharge is Rajan Singh who would keep changing the rates on you…some people are just to make as money out of you when they see an American passport… very sad.. Overall very average to below average service for the price point. ##### Pratima Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shazia Mar 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Ren o fräsch nyrenoverad Hotel, kan med 100% rekommendera. ##### Shazia Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amit Aug 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### excellent ##### Amit Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Ashin Dec 23, 2023 Liked: Property conditions & facilities ##### Ashin Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mamta Dec 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Mamta ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Kimpton Seafire Resort + Spa by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Seven-Mile-Beach-Hotels-Kimpton-Seafire-Resort-And-Spa.h14761342.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Geneva](https://www.expedia.ca/Geneva-Hotels.d180003.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hampton Inn by Hilton Calgary Airport North](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-By-Hilton-Calgary-Airport-North.h6282047.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Lisboa Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Lisbon-District-Hotels-Mercure-Lisboa-Hotel.h856578.Hotel-Information) > > [Wander the Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Prince-Edward-Hotels-Wander-The-Resort.h88168816.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal](https://www.expedia.ca/Swartz-Bay-Ferry-Terminal-Hotels.0-l6253395-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Capri Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Capri-Inn.h2895885.Hotel-Information) > > [Smile Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Buriram-Hotels-Smile-Resort.h15632742.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Marquis Miami](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Marquis-Miami.h3779394.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Venice Grand Canal Mall](https://www.expedia.ca/Venice-Grand-Canal-Mall-Hotels.0-l553248633850381487-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Bahia Principe Luxury Ambar - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Luxury-Ambar-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h1937218.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Lac-Megantic](https://www.expedia.ca/Lac-Megantic-Hotels.d6340224.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Grand Teton National Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Teton-National-Park-Hotels.0-l6003311-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Sidney (YYJ) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyj/yyc/victoria-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Flint (FNT) to Miami (MIA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/fnt/mia/flint-to-miami) > > [Flights from Prince George (YXS) to Mexico City (MEX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxs/mex/prince-george-to-mexico-city) > > [Flights from Edmonton International Airport (YEG) to Kimberley (KIM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/kim/edmonton-to-kimberley) > > [Flights from Edmonton International Airport (YEG) to El Prat de Llobregat (BCN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/bcn/edmonton-to-barcelona) > > [Flights from Detroit (DTW) to Schiphol (AMS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dtw/ams/detroit-to-amsterdam) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Orlando-Intl.d5194573.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Activities ### Packages > [Banff Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff.d10550.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Disneyland® Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Disneyland-Resort-Anaheim-Resort.d6025613.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Frida Kahlo Museum](https://www.expedia.ca/Frida-Kahlo-Museum-Coyoacan.d501744.Vacation-Attraction) ### General
