We only stayed for one night while passing through. The room was fine, although a little noisy. Breakfast was rather fas
Pros:

The location in the center. Parking is available for CAD 15 underneath the hotel.

Not worth the money
Pros:

Service and cleanliness

Cons:

Room fare & limited breakfast options.
Paid $650 for two nights and this property doesn’t deserve more than $300 for 2 nights . Would appreciate better breakfast
