The Bad
While the majority of reviews consulted for this analysis were positive, there were a few common complaints about noise transfer and finding the hotel.
A few guests complained of noise transfer during their stay. They reported slamming doors and noise from other guests in the hallways, as well as noise from guests in the parking lot and adjacent rooms.
Finding the hotel was challenging for a few travellers, who reported poor signage from the highway. One patron noted, "Only drawback is that direction signs are quite small coming off Trans Canada Highway making it difficult to find entrance road to hotel, if not familiar with the area, especially at night".
