A reliable stop for travellers who are looking for a comfortable, short stay.
Pros:

The location just off Hwy 401 was very convenient for a quick, in-out, 1-night stay

Cons:

No concerns

Great for an overnight stay, but not for long stays.
Pros:

It was very clean and the Custodial staff was very attentive when they came through.

Cons:

People smoking at the entrances even though there were clearly posted signs.
Even the man who checked us in was smoking just outside the front entrance causing the foyer to smell of cigarette smoke.
Our fridge was turned off when we arrived (apparently standard practice here) which caused it to smell musty and took a while to cool down after we turned it back on.
Continental breakfast was so-so. Packaged muffins, fruit cups, bottled juices, coffee/tea. That's it.

Clean, quiet and really nice and welcoming staff! Close to everything. Would stay here again!
Cons:

The lighting should be changed to soft white, it felt like hospital lighting and wasn't relaxing. It cost the same for warm / soft white lightbulbs .

Clean rooms, convenient location for us. Would not stay again.
Pros:

We did like the bedroom and bathroom. The room was very clean the bed was comfortable. but we had a lot of difficulty to reach our room.
Heavy doors no automatic openers made it very difficult for seniors with luggage.

Cons:

We did not have breakfast. It was in a separate building and due to snow and ice and we have handicaps it was too difficult o get to.
The doors no automatic openers made it very difficult for seniors with luggage.and walkers to get to our room.
Told we could park outside sliding doors and that would have been fine except it was covered with snow and ice so we could not enter.
