Overall, this hotel was okay, and you generally get what you pay for. The location is excellent and was definitely the biggest positive. It was a little overpriced during the August long weekend, but that’s to be expected.
The pool is small, and the pool deck was oddly always wet. The breakfast area is also too small for the number of guests, making it feel crowded every morning.
My biggest concern was the renovations on the first floor. Carpet had been pulled up and laid back down haphazardly, creating several tripping hazards. There were also exposed staples and nails in unfinished areas where I had to lift my kids over them. During our three-night stay, I never saw any maintenance staff working, so it wasn’t clear whether the renovations were actively progressing.
Garbage bins in the common areas were often overflowing, and the lobby washroom was out of order for our entire stay.
One small note that isn’t really the hotel’s fault: there is only one guest laundry machine, and other guests moved our laundry when we were only about 10 minutes late picking it up.
The location is great, but the condition of the common areas and the way the renovations were managed left room for improvement.
