The EV charger onsite was the initial draw to this location. The C-Train right next door made getting to our concert venue super easy and cheap! Beds were really comfortable. Breakfast was also great - for a breakfast included buffet it had a lot of options.

Our stay was seamless. Love the underground parkade and ease of checkout, just dropping the room keys without going through reception. Breakfast was a good variety of food, and the room was equipped with lots of extra bedding which we used. My kids enjoyed the pool. I would definitely stay here again.

Front desk staff weren’t the friendliest or very welcoming but they did their job. Breakfast was really good. Lots of variety and kitchen staff managed to keep up with the high demand. Pool was crowded and water didn’t look the cleanest. Gym could use a nice set of dumbbells. Underground parking was a definitely plus.
