    Spacious Room with Great Amenities

    I had a wonderful stay in a superior one-bedroom suite, which felt like a small apartment. The kitchenette was well-stocked and allowed me to prepare meals comfortably. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the location was perfect for exploring major attractions. However, the breakfast could benefit from offering more gluten-free options.

    spacious suite
    great breakfast
    lack of family activities

    We had a fantastic stay at this place! Our family gathered with a few couples, and we loved the convenient location, just a short walk to downtown attractions. Plus, the spacious Executive Suite was perfect, with a kitchenette that made family meals easy and the breakfast options were always plentiful and delicious.

    For dads, it would be great if they offered family-focused activities or amenities to keep kids entertained.

    The room was clean and spacious, with a fully equipped kitchenette that was super convenient. Loved the huge TV and the comfy bed. perfect for winding down after a long day. The air purifier was a nice touch, especially for allergy sufferers. Also, the sound machine made it easy to sleep through the night. Really enjoyed the vibe, though the decor felt a little dated. Overall, solid stay!

    Really enjoyed the comfy queen bed and the free snacks they offered for our day! The inside parking was a lifesaver during the rain.

    Felt really welcomed, nothing too much trouble.

    prime location
    friendly staff
    great breakfast
    poor parking access

    The location is prime for checking out MacLaren's On Elgin and catching a Senators game along Sens Mile. The breakfast was a pleasant surprise with great options, and the staff were super friendly. Perfect for a group getaway.

    I did notice the parking situation wasn't ideal, as we had to walk through a garbage area to get to the parking lot.
