“Wouldn't want to stay here in winter”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 April 2011

The room is nicely, but oddly laid out. The sitting room is separated from the bed area by a TV unit.

The kitchen is equipped in the sparsest sense, complete with a reasonably sized fridge, microwave, a toaster oven, coffee maker, dishes, glassware, cookware, linens, dish soap, and cutlery.

Unlike other boutique hotels, the bed is not a comfort top mattress, nor is there a down comforter. Only one set of pillows was provided; we couldn't find another set anywhere. The heat was difficult to operate, so we were glad to find a blanket in a drawer.

There are two flat screen TVs. a couch, chairs, a desk, and a kitchen table and 2 chairs.
The INTERNET is complimentary.

The suite is roomy, and it has a balcony, but it is the door to this balcony that alarmed us. First there was a gap between the door and the jam at least a 1/2 inch wide. Winter winds would blow easily throw this opening. And even though the door was dead-bolted, it could easily be opened by an intruder, because when you pulled on the door, the entire thing-- door and jam-- pulled away from the wall.

The hotel is very near conveniences like grocery stores, a small mall, and the town's casino. And it is located just up from MacDonald Island Park and the large Suncor Community Leisure Center.

The staff was fine and parking is handy to the front doors.

The continental breakfast is not worth mentioning as we have eaten at hotels around the globe. Some high calorie breakfast buns and pastries, juices, coffee, tea,

Room Tip: Ask about the balcony doors first.

“Great for Fort Mac”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 July 2010

Very clean hotel, the room was spotless. I was very impressed with the size. There was a large living room area, the kitchenette was very spacious and the dark wood cupboards and granite counters gave it a great feel. The balcony was a great feature as well, however - Riverview Room not so much! There's major construction of a new highway going on literally outside the hotel, as it on the other side of the street, that starts well before 7 AM. The blackout drapes are not quite as wide as the windows either so between the construction noise and the sun, don't expect to sleep past 5 am. Free in room internet was great, as was the fridge and microwave - they even had a George Foreman grill! Also very secure; you need a room card to get into the lobby and elevator so I had no safety concerns.
