Minor issues marred a great stay in a very nice hotel.
Pros:

Good location, very nice breakfast.

Our bathroom needed a repaint, toilet seat loose. Not what I'd expect for the price I paid. No parking available. Wi-Fi wasn't explained at check-in.

Fantastic Stay and will definitely be back again.
Pros:

We came early and were able to check in before 12noon. This was not expected, however we were really grateful.

Cons:

The beds were great. However, the pillows needed to have different sizes as they were all very high. Otherwise we were extremely happy with our stay. :)

Friendly staff and well equipped hotel.
Pros:

Good buffet breakfast and facilities, rooms are a good size and well equipped.

Cons:

Dinner at the restaurant was definitely well over priced and the food is very average. We expected much more at those prices. Kids meal cost us $25 and it was just chicken tenders and chips which you can usually get for $12.
