We stayed here four years ago. It was lovely. The property has fallen into disrepair. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!! The xterior Locks Are broken on the lower level. We had to walk up the ramp, through the ice and snow, in the dark, to go in the front lobby entrance. The exterior pool door was open to the world. Our solid wood room door was cracked and wood was exposed. The room was nasty!!! Gum stuck to the wall, holes n the wall, broken laminates throughout, COLD WATER, not Luke warm - COLD!!!! 2° difference between full cold and full hot. Broken tile in the bathroom, missing tile, a fungus project behind the toilet, missing shelves, the bathroom mirror was literally falling apart, the security latch on the door was with in a tap of falling out of the steel door frame. This place is a pile of garbage, when the security had to walk me to my room, and try to open the door, because the door took 27 times for the key card to work, he acknowledged that the entire hotel was in a state of disrepair And shrugged it off

Horrible! Broken room door locks. Inoperable exterior admission by key card, had to walk up 1 flight to the front of the hotel - up a ramp in the snow. Front desk and security acknowledged stuff is not working properly in the hotel. We stayed here 3 years ago and it was lovely. I think football and rugby teams stay here. It is very rough on the edges throughout the entire hotel. I would never stay here again.

The room smelled moldy, the bathroom had mold in the shower, mold on bathroom tile. As I have allergies my eyes were swollen, had sore throat, stuffed up did not make a fun planned stay in the city pleasant and left town early due to symptoms from stay.

I don't like the fact of the parking situation. The front of the building is too clustery with people trying to check in and get through is just a cluster mess. I got charged for parking and the gate in the back parking lot was open for anyone to just park in there as I was charged a daily amount to park in their lot

Man at front desk was very nice, helpful and informative. Some of the other staff weren’t as helpful. Housekeeping can do MUCH BETTER. Floor of my room was gross and filthy. Stay was overall nice though

Checked into my first room which reeked of cigarette smoked in a non smoking room. I instantly called the front desk to report the issue and had to make several attempts and even had my call declined by the front desk worker. After finally reaching the front desk, they seemed pleasant and did switch my room. I had dinner plans so didn’t have a lot of time to spend in my new room which was unfortunate because later that night I discovered my television did not work but it was too late to report. The elevator also took incredibly long to get anywhere, atleast a 20 minute wait to just get to the lobby

Checked in at 6pm. Room wasn’t ready. After waiting 20 minutes, I was given a room that had guests already in it. After that mix up, our final room was dirty & old. The fold out couch (3rd bed was the reason I booked this property) was so stained & dirty looking I did not use it. Bathroom tiles cracked, chipped & dirty looking. Carpet stained & nasty. Room smelled of mildew & bleach. Terrible experience.
