The room was so clean..
.friendly staff and very helpful....hot tub was amazing and so close in the downtown core to everything within walking distance!
Staff were friendly and attentive. Room was clean and beds were comfortable. The hot tub is very small but was a nice comfort after spending the day outside. Great location to all the Winterlude activities!
Despite some renovations happening in lobby area, the rooms were super clean and comfortable and the staff were great. Gym/tub/pool were all clean, and very quiet for our trip!
Proximity to parliament, mint, and many options for local eats was also convenient.
