Reviews
There was a lot of good things with this hotel, but one big flaw causes me to leave a 3 star review instead of a 4 or 5.
Pros:
- Nice and clean
- Linens - White, washable duvet cover, selection of pillows
- Free breakfast included (serve yourself breakfast bar. When we were there the breakfast included cereal, toast, bagels, scrambled eggs and sausages, waffle maker, yogurt, apples
- Free parking
- Staff was pleasant
- Room was dark enough to sleep
- Room heater worked well
- Pool and Hottub (we didn't use them, so I can't comment on them. The pool was small.)
- Nice size TV
Cons:
- The beds were older and saggy in the middle. This may not be the case in every room, but both queen beds in our room had the same sag. ( I wish I had asked about another room, but it didn't seem that bad at first since they seemed to have nice toppers and felt cozy (we couldn't feel the springs or anything). But during the night, my back was in an uncomfortable position due to the sag, and I just couldn't sleep.
- Noise from upstairs room. We could hear footsteps and creaks when the people upstairs moved around. Kids running around up there was very loud. I would request an upstairs room next time (there are only 2 floors).
- Breakfast hours: Breakfast was served between 6:30 and 9:30 everyday. But, they should have later hours on weekends. Almost everyone who partook of the breakfast wanted to sleep in and arrived between 9:00 and 9:30. The poor lady trying to keep the tables clean, the food replenished and answer peoples questions (mostly about the waffle iron) during the last hour was run ragged. The breakfast area is small, and too many guests were trying to get to the food at the same time. Since weekend guests often like to sleep in and relax, the hotel should move the breakfast to a later time slot (even 7:00 to 10:00 would help) or expand the time (6:30 to 10:30) to prevent the chaos of trying to get food and find a seat. (the breakfast offerings were good - but the crowd of people in that small space between 9:00 and 9:30 was crazy)
Summary:
If I had an upstairs room (so no noise from above), and if the room had newer mattresses... I would have left a 4 or 5 star rating. If I had gone for breakfast before 8:30am, it would have been more enjoyable meal.

The good things. It has free parking and it is still standing. Now the rest. The rooms are partially updated but missing key things like paint and window screens. The bed squeaked and was lumpy. The washroom was cleanish but the shower head hasn't been cleaned since the Bush administration. It is a cheapish hotel close to Toronto. Best advice is to shop around.... Unless you like swimming in a pool greener then the emerald isle.

It was fine. Service was good. Rooms clean. They don't have an elevator so you need to carry your stuff upstairs. Other than that, all good

Shabby but typical of budget hotels. Fridge in room, big tv and parking lot access through balcony. Pool could use a good clean, algae covered up by heaps of chroline. Neighborhood sketchy but close to the highway and shopping. Probably wouldn't return as there are so many just like this around here.
