The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of everything you could want, with a very comfy bed and amenities. The service was lacking that usual Canadian hospitality touch, as I encountered a rude attitude when discussing my reservation. The hotel offers many selections for dining with options to suit everyone but could use improvement in some areas. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, which adds to the overall experience.

My stay at the hotel was amazing! The rooms were incredibly spacious with a complete set of kitchen appliances, and the bed was super comfortable. Everything felt brand new and recently renovated, which was awesome. However, the service was a bit disappointing as the staff was rude and argued with me about the reservation details, not matching up with the usual Canadian hospitality. On the bright side, they went over the top to help and offer service. The location was perfect, right above McLaren's sports bar and within walking distance of all the tourist attractions. The dining experience was great with many options available for different dietary needs. Overall, the hotel offered a mix of positive and negative experiences that made my stay memorable.
