Everything was very smooth from checking in until the next day just before we check out. The room service was already knocking on the door and entered our room around 930am. Check out is before 11am. First time we’ve ever experienced this in any hotel.

First night, second night. Our breakfast options were okay, found the food combinations were challenging. The staff who served us were touchy and at times rude. By the third night the following morning breakfast we found was a different menu, enjoyable and different staff was much nicer and kinder. Room itself was clean, but we continually had to ask for more toilet paper as only the one on the roll was provided. Had to finally ask them to please put 2 rolls in our room!

This property was overpriced, in my opinion. Compared to other Holiday Inn properties we have visited in Ottawa, Bellingham, Seattle, and Southampton, UK, this property was rather spartan. One office chair to sit on! The door into the apartment did not close easily and the security lock came off in my hands. I am not sure that we will stay here again.
