The Good
Overall, guests left lots of positive scores. They liked the hotel for the value it provided, its location and its friendly staff.
Rooms were generally quite well liked for being spacious and well laid out. Guests often described them as clean with soft sheets on the beds.
Staff were kind and personable and guests found them helpful.
Location was tops. It was an easy walk to White Oaks Mall with its shops and restaurants, and there were restaurants alongside the hotel in either direction in walking distance. Hwy 401 was very near with easy access.
Breakfast offered hot foods and good variety and guests typically appreciated this.

The Bad
There were some common concerns repeated in the reviews.
Guests often said that the hotel was tired and needed to renovate. They mentioned old, worn, stained sofabeds; old, uncomfortable lumpy mattresses; old TVs and furniture and stained and dirty carpeting.
There were some maintenance issues: crumbling mortar and bricks outside, plugged drains and an older showerhead needed replacing.
The hotel used to allow smoking and pets and guests could still smell smoke in the rooms and hallways and one even complained of smelling urine coming from the carpet in a closet.
Occasionally guests complained about the breakfast having “powdered eggs” and stale pastries, but this was not common.
Some found noise disturbances from: hockey players allowed to run in the halls, guests in neighbouring rooms and the AC units or heater fans.
