A pleasure to stay at your facility, if we get back to North Bay this will be our choice of hotel.
Pros:

The staff were very friendly from the time we entered the front door to the time we left. The facility was immaculate. There were multiple handicap parking spaces right outside the front door, very beneficial to both of us. The breakfast was excellent, unfortunately not included in the price of the room.

Cons:

Can't think of anything really.
