Nice older hotel, outstanding front desk staff. There were some vagrants in the area who made things a little unsettling at times, but it’s not worse than any other city in Canada nowadays. Breakfast is $7, but we did not stay for it. No luggage carts which would have been nice as we are an older couple travelling with a lot of stuff. In general though, very clean and comfortable for an older hotel. The bathroom was nicely redone and the shower was outstanding - best so far on our trip. Price was reasonable and competitive. Rating overall - Very good.

Check in and out staff were wonderful. We were in a recently renovated room. Pool and hot tub were great after a long day of driving. Restaurants available across the street. We did not take advantage of the continental breakfast. Would stay here again.
