  Average Hotel stay with poor amenities

  16 Aug 2026

  2-Star ReviewThis was a very average stay, and overall I would rate the hotel 2 out of 5 stars.The hotel feels quite dated and would benefit from significant renovation and better maintenance. The outside areas and property grounds were not very clean or well maintained, which made the overall first impression disappointing. The rooms were also not very soundproof, and noise from other rooms and n… Read more2-Star ReviewThis was a very average stay, and overall I would rate the hotel 2 out of 5 stars.The hotel feels quite dated and would benefit from significant renovation and better maintenance.

  Quality of stay

  The hotel was hosting a large group of young lacrosse players attending a tournament in the city, and unfortunately the behaviour throughout the property was completely out of control.Children were running up and down the hallways unrestrained late into the evening and early in the morning. At one point, nets were actually set up in the second-floor hallway and a lacrosse game was taking place ind… Read moreThe hotel was hosting a large group of young lacrosse players attending a tournament in the city, and unfortunately the behaviour throughout the property was completely out of control.Children were running up and down the hallways unrestrained late into the ev… Read more
