The breakfast was good my only complaint I just did not know you have to ask for banana out they bring bananas out in staggered basis but that's okay they gave me when I asked. The location was the most favorable closest proximity to Keyano College. We attended the convocation where my niece awarded Valedictorian of the grad class 2023 so that was good just a short walking distance

The card keys kept failing. It happened every single day. We would be trying to open the door several times but failed. We then had to go back to the front desk for a new card that was tedious!

Great value. Not the best area as far as wandering, locals, but as long as you park underground, it is good and secure, and a great value.

If they are hosting events in the ballroom, it can affect your ability to sleep. I hope they don’t host noisy events till midnight in the future.

the location was great, easy access to everything downtown.

I was disappointed with the eggs, tasteless and coffee too but the staff were lovely. I think you need a better menu. The WAFFLES need strawberries or some kind of fruit and juice; too dry with just syrup.

Great location, heated indoor parking.

I booked a suite with full kitchen which wasn’t available when I arrived. I was given a different room without a kitchen.
