When booking our stay, we were unaware that the hotel is primarily used as government housing for the homeless. As a guest traveling with my two small children, I felt unsafe due to certain activities occurring in and around the hotel. Given the rate of $300 per night, I believe it would be appropriate to inform future guests about the predominant nature of the property. Additionally, I have deep sympathy for the challenges the staff face under these circumstances.

Great new years getaway with family. Staff polite rooms clean and very quiet. Loved that subway Tim’s and gas station were close. Shopping and good eating wasn’t far either. Close enough to Costco to go before we left to go.

Didnt like pool control. Very much lack of direction. Playing with rescue rings. Should not be done, running around pool Running from deck and jumping into pool. Just no control or direction. Will not let my children play in pool again, no safety. Very high concern of injury
