The stay was horrible. First the reservation was not found. Secondly, I got a breakfast buffet rate, but the hotel refused to offer breakfast. The toilet did not flush. The room was horrible. The staff wasn't very helpful.

The hotel was very basic but the staff were friendly and helpful. ##### Chris ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Jan 12, 2015 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Not recommended Not a nice hotel at all, very noisy room with a hard bed. ##### Verified traveller ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Jan 26, 2013 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### High price, poor quality Room and bathroom were dirty and shabby. Dinner (room service) was awful. While close to the airport, the surrounding area where hotel located was very unattractive. A highly overpriced hotel. The saving grace was the friendly receptionist and decent breakfast. ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Sept-Iles](https://www.expedia.ca/Sept-Iles-Hotels.d4152.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Park Plaza London Park Royal](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-London-Park-Royal.h15118023.Hotel-Information) > > [Alt Hotel Saskatoon](https://www.expedia.ca/Saskatoon-Hotels-Alt-Hotel-Saskatoon.h33540832.Hotel-Information) > > [Moon Palace Cancun - All-Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Moon-Palace-Cancun-All-Inclusive.h428588.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Water Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/South-Yarmouth-Hotels-Blue-Water-Resort.h20299.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn and Suites by Hilton, Downtown Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-And-Suites-By-Hilton.h448306.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pacific Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Seal-Beach-Hotels-The-Pacific-Inn.h19141.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Algarve](https://www.expedia.ca/Algarve-Hotels.d182215.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Andover](https://www.expedia.ca/Andover-Hotels.d5997.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Downtown St. John's](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-St-Johns-St-Johns-Hotels.0-n6355173-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels.d178314.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Kelowna](https://www.expedia.ca/Kelowna-Hotels.d3997.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [B&B Stratford](https://www.expedia.ca/Stratford-Bed-And-Breakfast.d6057876-aaBedAndBreakfast.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Nanded (NDC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ndc/toronto-to-nanded) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Auckland (AKL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/akl/vancouver-to-auckland) > > [Flights from Naples (NAP) to Venice (VCE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/nap/vce/naples-to-venice) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/lhr/toronto-to-london) > > [Flights from Williams Lake (YWL) to Kelowna (YLW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywl/ylw/williams-lake-to-kelowna) > > [Flights from Narita (NRT) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/nrt/yyz/tokyo-to-toronto) ### Activities > [Things to do in Joaquín Zetina Gasca](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Joaquin-Zetina-Gasca.d553248635975856805.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Kailua-Kona](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Kailua-Kona.d1879.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Edmonton City Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-City-Centre-Downtown-Edmonton.d6072161.Vacation-Attraction) ### General
