Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Towels were excellent, good location to down town. However, beds were very uncomfortable, soap dispensers did not work (we had to fix as containers were not installed properly), TV remotes did not work (Maintenance did come and get us new ones), Breakfast was awful--nothing but sugar and toast, grounds were unkept and goose and moose droppings everywhere.

Honestly this stay exceeded my expectations. The room was much nicer and updated than I expected from the price- I've stayed in lots of cheap rooms that were visibly old, stained, worn, etc, but this one was wonderful! The heat worked very well which was much appreciated on a cold night.

Overall the hotel was good. Breakfast selection is very minimal and our room was directly below the office and all we heard from 6am on was people walking above us, very annoying.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property around the water was gorgeous. However we could smell a gas smell from the entrance to our room and In the room the entire night. Was not a very kid friendly property with anything to do for them. The hot tub closed at 7 which is very early for people waiting their turn to go in. The ice room was a bit sketchy as well. The breakfast consisted of toast, tuna packets and Mac and cheese. Very weird items for breakfast but took what we could take as it was complimentary. All around I would not stay again
