My husband and I stayed one Friday night here. We arrived around noon and they gave us a room that had just been cleaned, even 3 hours before check-in. The front desk gal was simply fantastic and she was still in training!
The cookies in the lobby were really yummy!! The free lobby computer use including internet access were a lifesaver, as our laptop had fried at the convention we had been attending earlier in the week. Otherwise, we would have taken advantage of the free wireless access in the rooms. Really something no hotel can afford not to offer anymore.
The pool is unheated but comfy, and the hot tub was a nice place to relax. There were used towels in the pool area but no clean ones. I'm sure if we had asked....but it was hot enough that we just sat in the sun for a few minutes and dried off.
The breakfast was wonderful! Biscuits and gravy, sausage patties, waffle batter and an iron, an assortment of cereals, donuts, bagels, french toast and even a milk dispensing machine....really was way more then I expected. Very pleased with this!
Best showers of any hotel I've ever had! My husband is 6'3 and taking showers normally gives him a backache from bending to reach the water. But here the nozzle was up high, the water pressure was amazing and the soap was yummy smelling and not sticky on my skin! I always bring my own shampoo and conditioner though, so I can't comment on the other toiletries.
A microwave in the room with free microwave popcorn, and a mini-fridge were much appreciated for our snacks and soda!
The hotel website says it's walking distance to the Ontario Convention Center, but it's a long walk from what I could tell. We asked if the free airport shuttle could take us to our convention and they were apologetic, but firm. Only airport transportation.
Either way, it was a great stay with yummy snacks and fantastic service. The room and bed were small, clean and comfy. We didn't notice anything particularly worn or horrible about it. We were looking for something good near the convention center, and we got it!
I'd stay here again, and would recommend it to anyone who's not looking for a 5 star hotel.
