Nice impromptu stay!

Our destination was in BC but the roads were bad the further we got so we made a stop here for the night. Everything was as it should be, nice hotel. We enjoyed a lovely dinner at the Keg downstairs and a relaxing swim in the hot tub.

It was ok

Hotel was decent looking, our room was clean, on the smaler side but ok. Staff were nice. The chlorine in the pool seemed extra strong. The fumes burned our eyes and stuck in our throats, we could not stay longer then 10 minutes. The pool was also so foamy it just didnt look right. Staff informed us that the pool was at the right chemical levels but i have never been in a pool that burnt my eyes and throat before.

Not so clean

Ok but not wow. The toilet was not centered and made it hard to sit. Very small height for the toilet. We were squeezed and our arm was in the way of the toilet paper holder. There was hairs in the bed sheets, wich is discusting for my point of vue. We could see a brown residue in the toilet bowl. Beds were confortables. For 4 people, it was a small room.

Well, the shower didnt drain properly, the toilet recycled every 1/2 hour, two metalic noises loudly sounded when it was windy. They moved me to a different room finally but the fireplace didn't work And it was supposed to be newly remodeled but they did a poor job. I would not go back here, it was not worth the money plus they would not give me a discount due to the aggravation suffered during the stay.

No robes in room. Trying calling down numerous times no answer. Rooms to utilities left open. Staff not helpful or friendly when trying to get to our room. Acted as if we were a bother. Would be great if the bathrooms had a fan and maybe a makeup light. Toilet seat is so close to counter - super weird.
