Breakfast was a joke no juice cooler or machine broke. Also the cooler that held yogurt was broke so had to go to front desk for it and they would go somewhere and get it and bring it too you. Our room was clean but my daughter in laws room was unexpectedly filthy there was poop on toilet , bloody tampons and floor and don’t know what was in the bed. They moved her to another room but she never should have be given that room in the first place.

The room was very clean and smelled great when we first arrived. Staff was great and very accommodating. Climate control worked great considering the -10 degree night the area had. The beds were a tad firm, but I know that just personal preference so not really a negative. The breakfast wasn't spectacular, but there was a decent selection and it was free so I won't complain to much.

Terrible stay when the youth hockey kids and parents are up past 2am running the halls, banging doors and being loud/ swearing all night in the lobby and throughout the hotel. Staff did nothing to stop it. Same thing happened last week too. I've canceled my future stays here and now booked another hotel. The eoom and location was fine, but when they care more about the travel hockey groups, im going elsewherre.
