Favorite place for the price!
Pros:

Beautiful clean and comfortable rooms, location, view, staff always great, bar with great food, pool, hot tub, basically everything you need in one spot! Great price range for what you get!

Cons:

The hot tub was cool and the pool was quite dirty the following morning. There were a lot of people in them the night before so we chose to go in the morning only to find they weren't very pleasant. They should tend to these in the morning and get the hot tub ready for guests who choose to go in the morning like me 😊. It's the reason I like to stay at the Parkshore and the first time I was disappointed. I live in the area and spend the extra money to get some extra R & R and mainly to get in the water! My favorite place for the value!

First class.
Pros:

Everything. Price, location, facilities and the lounge restaurant was first class as was the menu.

Cons:

Breakfast could start earlier, but low season maybe defines their practical approach.

I liked the pool area with the nicely painted plants on the wall. Pool was lovely and relaxing. STAR staff at desk was very pleasant and helpful and beds were comfortable.

Cons:

My room was facing the highway and the side had a view of a building, but that was okay because I had a discounted rate was in room 216 was traveling for work

Decent hotel for the price. The pool / hot tub was a bonus when it was 15 degrees outside.
Pros:

Manager was extremely helpful. I arrived early and she had the room cleaned and available for an early check in.

Cons:

The refrigerator in the room needed to be replaced as it was "very well used". Also the heater in the room did not maintain a comfortable temperature. I set the temperature to 76 degrees in an attempt to warm up the room. The unit ran the entire time (never shut off) and the room never reached 70 degrees.
