We stayed 3 nights as we were in Ontario because of a funeral which was a very stressful and difficult time. The hotel sympathic staff went over and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable as much as possible during this difficult time. If felt like a soft place to fall when one is grieving for me and my family. So Thank you to all and definitely recommend this Hotel.

Very nice clean room and friendly helpful staff more meal options would be a real asset as the only restaraunt os a short walk away outside through a covered breezway offering only buffet dinner no breakfast and nothing close in terms of off site options.
