Easy parking! Very convenient location and very walkable area. Great extended weekend stay we had a superior suite and there was plenty of room and a nice bathroom. Only note on my end is everything could have been wiped down before we entered lots of finger prints and stains throughout room.

The kitchen was brand new and very clean, but unfortunately, there were no cooking utensils or equipment available at first. Our group checked in late after spending the day on our Highway 1 road trip. We hadn’t had dinner yet and had planned to cook a meal using fresh ingredients we bought, which was why we specifically chose accommodation with a kitchen. However, after we informed the staff, they were incredibly helpful and went out of their way to provide us with all the kitchen equipment we needed. We were so happy and truly appreciated their excellent service! The beds were also spacious and very comfortable, and we all slept really well. Breakfast was great, too! I especially loved the scrambled eggs and the make-your-own waffles. Overall, we had a wonderful stay, and the outstanding service made the experience even better!

The room we had alot of space to put our luggage up, so we were not tripping over it. The rain shower was nice and hot water was plentiful. The bed was comfortable which was a plus for a good nights sleep. The amenities was adequate with a mini refrigerator, microwave oven and blow dryer. The only negative about room The floor seemed dirty and all the furniture could have used a good wiping off. The tub should have had a plastic mat in the bottom, for it was very slippery once you started soaping off. The breakfast was stocked adequateiy with eggs, sausages, waffles and a variety of others things, Also, the coffee was hot which is always a great way to start your day.

The A/C units are super loud and go off all night (about every 10 minutes) because it was a hot night. Apparently some of the king suites have minisplits which are much quieter. We will book those next time. The location is good and the staff were very nice and helpful. Rooms are quite dated, nothing like the photos.
