Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast is good here. The only downside is parking can be a challenge when the hotel is full at capacity. The staff is really friendly and helpful.

The breakfast on day 1 was very satisfying. The individually cooked cheese omelettes were delicious. The hashbrowns on day #1 were unfortunately dry and overdone. On Day #2, the scrambled eggs were moist and very flavorful. The bacon was crispy and the turkey sausage was also very well made. I wish there was orange juice on both days. Had to settle for apple juice which was okay. The room itself was very clean. The only complaint we had was that there was a fire alarm that interrupted our Sunday evening and several children running around above our room on Satruday and Sunday evening despite our request for front desk to warn them about the noise (we were in suite #418). We will be back again for sure but if the hotel could improve in these areas that would be greatly appreciated as we are thinking of booking at the Mariott Bonvoy next time. Warm regards, Alex & Winnie Yiu

I would have liked a little more variety at breakfast. My kids would have really enjoyed fresh cut up fruit and bacon. Other than that everything else was good.

Hotel itself was clean. Staff were very friendly. Jacuzzi was clean. Parking is quite limited and we had to park in the alley one evening. Transportation via the C-Train is very close. Would not recommend if you are planning on walking only (no car or C-Train) based on experiences with a member of the transient population outside of the hotel.
