The staff were very friendly and accommodating. I liked the wood burning fireplace in lobby. The rooms and property were clean and comfortable, however it is a little dated and in need of some updating. I still believe it is good value for the price.

Parking spots were extremely limited and was extremely difficult with a half ton truck. The hot tub had so much chemical in it, it made my eyes burn and skin itch.

Nice impromptu stay!

Our destination was in BC but the roads were bad the further we got so we made a stop here for the night. Everything was as it should be, nice hotel. We enjoyed a lovely dinner at the Keg downstairs and a relaxing swim in the hot tub.

It was ok

Hotel was decent looking, our room was clean, on the smaler side but ok. Staff were nice. The chlorine in the pool seemed extra strong. The fumes burned our eyes and stuck in our throats, we could not stay longer then 10 minutes. The pool was also so foamy it just didnt look right. Staff informed us that the pool was at the right chemical levels but i have never been in a pool that burnt my eyes and throat before.

Not so clean

Ok but not wow. The toilet was not centered and made it hard to sit. Very small height for the toilet. We were squeezed and our arm was in the way of the toilet paper holder. There was hairs in the bed sheets, wich is discusting for my point of vue. We could see a brown residue in the toilet bowl. Beds were confortables. For 4 people, it was a small room.
