Categories

Cleanliness
7.8
Generally described as clean (rooms, interior, pool) but specific complaints include dirty carpets in one room and a ring on the hot tub; occasional worn fixtures lowered the score.
Service
8.9
Staff repeatedly described as friendly and responsive (quick maintenance response); a few negatives (cold arrival experience for one guest and an intrusive checkout phone call) slightly reduce an otherwise strong score.
Location
9.2
Frequently praised as an excellent riverside location, close to attractions (Canoe Museum); slightly set back from downtown requiring a car for some guests, but overall a major positive.
Room Quality
8.2
Rooms described as spacious, comfortable, with balconies/decks and solid beds/TVs; some rooms show age (tired décor, old alarm clock, occasional broken fixtures) so rating is slightly reduced.
Amenities
8.1
Pool, lobby coffee and free drinks praised; hot tub appearance/chemicals and slow/unreliable Wi‑Fi, plus occasional parking difficulty and limited breakfast seating, modestly reduce the score.
Value for Money
8.7
Many repeat guests and positive comments about included breakfast and parking indicate good perceived value despite minor issues.
Food and Beverage
8.3
Complimentary hot breakfast is frequently called delicious and varied, though some guests found it ordinary or crowded on occasion.
Overall Experience
8.8
Overall sentiment is very positive—multiple guests call the stay excellent and say they will return—minor issues noted do not overshadow overall satisfaction.

Overall Excellent
Pros:

The room has an outdoor balcony facing a creek. It was really nice to just sit there and relax. Excellent location too, 3 minutes drive to the Canoe Museum. The breakfasts were nice. Had a nice combination of everything.

Cons:

Some fixtures were getting old. The sink plug broke, but the maintenance guy showed up with an excellent attitude and fixed the issue promptly.

Pros:

Très bel emplacement dans une boucle de la rivière Otonabee.
Légèrement excentré par rapport au centre-ville (besoin de prendre la voiture).
Accueil plutôt froid à l’arrivée, mais très courtois au départ.
Chambre un peu désuète (par exemple la moquette).
Petit déjeuner inclus mais ordinaire.

Pros:

Velký hotel, ale v příjemném prostředí, měli jsme výhled na řeku, pokoj pěkný s ledničkou a kávovarem. Snídaně mohla být lepší, jednak byl docela boj o místo a výběr nebyl největší, ale vzhledem ke kategorii hotelu je to dostačující.
