The hotel overall was great. Breakfast: very good selection Parking: free Staff: kind and relaxed Pool and Slide: pool water was warm and clean (steps may need repainting but overall great) Location: only a short drive to Bayers Lake. Can walk to Tim Hortons, and a gas station 30 seconds away. - easy access to the highway. Snack shop: basic snacks; chips, pop, ramen, cotton candy. Room: beds were soft but good, safe in the room, had trouble with the cooling but maintenance was in the room as soon as we left (check that the controls work before bed time) - what we were not told was that there were private swim classes Monday/Wednesday 430-730, but we were fortunately there before the lessons. It was what we expected, and would stay again.

When booking our stay, we were unaware that the hotel is primarily used as government housing for the homeless. As a guest traveling with my two small children, I felt unsafe due to certain activities occurring in and around the hotel. Given the rate of $300 per night, I believe it would be appropriate to inform future guests about the predominant nature of the property. Additionally, I have deep sympathy for the challenges the staff face under these circumstances.

Great new years getaway with family. Staff polite rooms clean and very quiet. Loved that subway Tim’s and gas station were close. Shopping and good eating wasn’t far either. Close enough to Costco to go before we left to go.

Didnt like pool control. Very much lack of direction. Playing with rescue rings. Should not be done, running around pool Running from deck and jumping into pool. Just no control or direction. Will not let my children play in pool again, no safety. Very high concern of injury

The room was cozy and clean until our toilet overflowed. The staff were super quick to address the problem and was fixed in no time. Staff were friendly and the kids enjoyed our 4-day stay.
