The room was quite nice, spacious and bed was comfortable. Unfortunately some of the towels were old and thinned out. I even had a facecloth which was so worn out that it had 3 holes in it. Basic shower amenities were there however no body lotion which surprised me for that category of hotel. Staff were nice and friendly and service was very good. The adjacent restaurant was also very good. This is a nice place to stay with kids as they have an interior pool with a water slide which does get very busy during the holiday period.

We stopped at this hotel for one Overnight on our trip from Ontario to Nova Scotia. The hotel itself was beautiful and tastefully decorated. The hotel room was super clean and the beds were the most comfortable we have ever had in a hotel. The best part is the pool area which was quite large, has a hot tub, and a water slide. We didn’t eat in the restuarant but we saw lots of room service being delivered and it looks incredible. We ended up ordering pizza from down the street. I would 100% recommend and will stay again.

Stayed for a night, chose the hotel for the waterslide pool. Unfortunately didn’t know there was a maximum height (5f) and weight limit. My youngest (11 year old) was under the maximum but the slide felt unsafe as he kept landing very close to the edge of the pool. But for lighter and younger kids, they seemed to have lots of fun.
