Great welcome but it needs a little elbow grease.

We were very impressed by the reception staff as well as the restaurant staff - they were pleasant and helpful. We were disappointed with the cleanliness of the room. We recognize it is an older hotel and they are working on upgrade. It has a lot of potential but in the meantime it is importantly to keep up thorough vacuuming and keep the windows clean and the area around dusted.

The price was right and parking was great but the hotel is “tired”, it’s glory days are past and it’s not the greatest part of town, not really unsafe but also not very special.

The hotel was ok. We paid for a suite and had a bit of extra space which was nice. We felt nervous leaving our car outside as there were lots of people hanging around overtly taking drugs in the car park. The same people seemed to be staying in the hotel as they were wandering in and out of the property. That said, once we were in our room we didn’t have much of an issue. I wouldn’t feel comfortable taking children into the hotel though due to all of the drug taking etc everywhere.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This is an old hotel that could use a few updates. That being said, I loved my stay. Pool was great. Gym was dirty, but massive and functional. I loved my room, even though the carpet had cigarette burns, which just made me laugh. It's just how old the carpet is. It is a beautiful hotel, with some questionable people wandering outside. Security was great though. If you're not racist, enjoy an older hotel and the beauty that comes with it, this is for you. Free bacon and egg breakfast every morning in the restaurant was excellent. Staff was excellent, including the restaurant where my wonderful server has worked for 27 years.
Free flavored water in the lobby.
Great view on the lakeside rooms.
Antique chairs, worn but beautiful.
View above the lobby in the mezzanine.
