★★★★★ Five stars for customer service!
Pros:

★★★★★ Five stars for customer service!
Thank you, Pedro! We’ve stayed here before and have always enjoyed the clean rooms, comfy beds, nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

This time, we made a last-minute, non-refundable booking and were almost there when we heard there was a forest fire on the outskirts of our hometown, Summerland. We had to turn around and get home.

I spoke with Pedro at the front desk, and he kindly offered to speak with his manager and do his best to help. Shortly afterwards, we were fully refunded for our stay.

Not all hotels are this accommodating, and I really wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the kindness and understanding. It meant a lot during a stressful situation.

Thank you, Pedro! 🙏❤️

Pros:

Room was clean enough

Cons:

Elevator was scary slow, bar next door was out of control, heard people yelling at 11pm, 1245 and then homeless fighting at 545am. Very scary for my daughter.

В принципе основываясь на ценовом диапазоне отеля, он нормальный за свои деньги.
Pros:

Персонал очень приятный, номера просторные для четверых. Наличие кофейной станции. Скидка на парковку авто.
Если вам нужно просто переночевать и принять душ,это отель вам подойдет, но точно не для длинного отдыха.

Cons:

Район расположения отеля,вокруг много бездомных. И прям под парковкой где отель предлагает осталять машину тоже живут бездомные, мы очень переживали за автомобиль. Также чистота ковролинов в номере и плитки в санузле оставляет желать лучшего. Кондиционер в номере работает очень плохо и когда ты ставишь его на максимальную мощность он очень гудит, спать не возможно. Пришлось выбирать между духотой и шумом
