Terrible experience, will not be back
Pros:

Location was quiet, close to amenities.

Cons:

Staff were not great, did not look professional, when we walked in she was sitting in the lounge chairs, place felt like a jail with front doors being locked at 11pm, looked like a motel as opposed to a hotel, the television had 2 channels and no way to connect to streaming services. The ice machine also did not work, there was no mention about where breakfast would be held. Extremely out dated and not comfortable for the price I’ve paid, would rather have spent $100 more at Marriott than stay in a shady motel labelled “hotel”.

Bad
Pros:

Not much. It was close to an event I was going to.

Cons:

The room next to us had a dog in it, there was a hand written note on the door that said “very anxious rescue dog inside please keep sound to a minimum” and the dog barked all night long and all morning. We ended up checking out at 8am to go home and sleep because it was so terrible

Easy to get to off the 401

Cons:

The facilities are less quality... The pool under renovation for a long time... The bathroom near the lobby... It reeked of urine. There was a bucket under the urinal. Not sure what was going on. Cleanliness of the room was still good.

Great staff, clean and right near a little plazza with restaurants.
Pros:

Found it accidentally when Februarys winter weather forced me and others off the highway ( 401 ) It was right off exit ramp and priced reasonable.
