Pros: Great location that was close to shopping, resturants and the highway. The rooms and common areas were clean and well maintained.
Cons: The shower was not very good. It did not have good pressure on any of the three settings. The breakfast had good variety but the eggs and sausage were not hot.

Pros: Bed and linens were best we've experienced in a hotel. Breakfast was very good.
Cons: Elevator was super slow. Also, was somewhat surprised that when we checked in the hotel charged us $200/per night when Booking.com quoted $139.99. Front desk staff said 'for potential incidentals', and would be credited back to our account upon checkout. Felt this was a strange practice.

Pros: It was newly renovated so everything was fresh, modern & attractive. The free breakfast was very nice-cinnamon buns were the best! There was a little box so you could take one for the road if you were full. I loved the fridge, micro and countertop area.
Cons: No. The pool was a little small but still nice to have. Only 21 people were allowed in the pool and around the deck, so it could get very crowded very fast, but we had the pool and hottub to ourselves.

Pros: Really enjoyed the breakfast. Rooms comfortable and clean. Had difficult time getting a group rate. We were told had to pay for two nights to get special group rate.
Cons: Pool very small. Front desk very slow in registering. Had difficult time getting a group rate. We were told had to pay for two nights to get special group rate. I had to pay higher rate for one room as I wanted to stay at relatives for second night. We were there for hockey tournament.

Pros: There was a coffee maker and fridge in the room, free breakfast.
Cons: They didn't tell us upon reservation that the pool and spa was under construction! There was construction noise all throughout the evening. We paid top dollar for a room that was in desperate need of a facelift. The hotel staff had "no idea" of what services were available close by.
