We’re in the lower level (1) and it was beat down. Very dirty feeling. Put us with all hockey teams but didn’t address the children running around screaming after I ask for them to address it. Just looked shocked someone would ask that. It was well after 10pm and doesn’t seem normal for children to be yelling and banging through the halls. Just cause I had a child with me doesn’t me I want to be by the hockey teams. Hotel is in rough shape. Needs a renovation on some floors. Main lobby is clean. Nice pool. And my daughter loved the slide.

I paid a lot of money for 2 night at the hotel. The first night there were kids and teenagers running up and down the halls until after midnight. Slamming doors and screaming, me and my kids got next to no sleep. On top of that, there were at least 20 to 25 pidgins outside of our room on the balcony making noises all night. I never would have book a room for those nights if I’ve known this was going to happen. I couldn’t be more disappointed.

Online said $0 deposit to stay then when I got to the property to check in I got hit with a $300 deposit. Outrageous. If I could afford to be charged a last minute cancellation fee I would’ve cancelled right there and went elsewhere. Will not be back.

Drip drip...

This was during a rain/windstorm. Room had a balcony, the balcony door leaked. it was very loud wind noise and with the dripping it didn't provide a restful sleep. Pool was nice. My kid liked the waterslides...
