A fine place to stay.

Fast, friendly check in. Clean, open lobby. The rooms are large. Needed to ask for towels. Nice balcony but no furniture in them. No temperature controls. (Thermostat) I’ll be staying there again. Close to dining options and shopping.

This hotel is under new ownership since 2024, and they have made some improvements. Older hotel but staff are very friendly and helpful, parking is easy, fantastic location! Would be nice to have a little store in hotel to buy little items, but it is a 5 minute walk away from a mall that has all that you need. The views are amazing, new owners went above and beyond with my requests! Still getting some upgrades, but I will stay here again.

I booked through Expedia and checked out the hotel website. Upon arrival I was very taken back by the rundown location and general appearance of the hotel. The parking is on the street and across the street in a poorly maintained area. The hotel was under renovations and was very noisy upon arrival. The room was clean and tidy. I enjoyed good food in the bar/restaurant . The waitstaff were pleasant and friendly. Perhaps after the renovations are completed things will be better. I was however very disappointed.

The hotel and the surrounding areas are under development. The city has amazing views but there hasn't been any development in the area. With proper planning developments, the city can be a tourist destination while respecting its residents and aboriginal culture. The hotel room doesn't have A/C or a fan in the bathroom.
