Decent
Pros:

It was decent.

Cons:

Check in only until 10pm. Shower grout not the cleanest. Unable to eat breakfast as it was not until 8 am (after start of first meeting). Perhaps better for a family than for a business traveller.

It was clean, comfortable. Staff are friendly and helpful.
Pros:

The breakfast was good. The location was accessible.

Cons:

The facility needs upgrading. It's being maintained well by staff but needs to be updated. The bathroom shower needs replacement. The beds were very comfortable, and the room was cozy, and clean. The smart television/wifi system is a bit too much to navigate after a long drive.

Das Frühstück in der Bäckerei im gleichen Haus (Justamere - Café | Bistro | Bakery ) war super auch wenn man etwas mehr bezahlen muss

Pros:

I appreciate there were no carpets in the halls or room. Room was comfortable. Streaming TV was convenient. Breakfast in the attached restaurant was excellent, but the voucher could have been communicated better.

My daughter and I love staying here and we'll definitely be back!
Pros:

The hotel is mostly renovated and looks really nice. The beds are comfy but what sold me when I was booking was the vouchers for the restaurant. After staying two nights I decided to always book Claymore Inn. I have since stayed another 2 nights. My daughter and I have girls weekends and she loves it for the pool and the restaurant. It is close to everything, just across the parking lot is Boston Pizza. I found everything else we needed was less than 10 mins. away.

Cons:

The pool facilities need work. The size of the pool is great, it's not freezing and having the access to a hot tub was nice too. The sealing around the hot tub looks kind of gross, the wood steps seem to be peeling. The water seemed cloudy and I wasn't sure how often it was being changed/how well the filters were working. We still enjoyed using the pool but I expected more.
