Slept with balcony door cracked for fresh air
Pros:

Proximity to restaurants and stores,
Room with balcony facing grassland hill
Quiet

Cons:

My bathroom had a mouldy smell emanating from the sink drain. Heating and cooling system was too loud to sleep with it powered on. Pool was very small and pool room was poorly ventilated so had a very strong chlorine smell, so I didn’t use it.

Great family hotel with prime location
Pros:

Location was prime. Close to everything you would need! Walmart, SuperStore, restaurants. And easy to get to where we needed to be. I also liked that this hotel had a room where each of the kids had their own bed and the parents had a separate room to sleep in.

Cons:

They closed the hot tub and could not tell us why.

Hotel is clean and quiet.
Pros:

There was no breakfast sadly. That would be convenient. At least some muffins and bagels. The hotel is clean and near lots of shopping and food. Checkin was quick.

Cons:

We were given a room looking out onto a dingy rooftop. Maybe because we used a booking service for a better rate???

Wonderful warm welcome and lovely front of house staff
Pros:

The hotel and amenities and staff were excellent

Cons:

There were hairs in the tub which were not mine and I didn’t shower there. The sink basin was split in half and the cupboard door had a hole in it. My husband paid $235 for me to have a night away and I think he would have been a little disappointed at the cleanliness/presentation of the room.
