A++

We recently stayed at this hotel while in town for a hockey tournament, and it was an excellent choice! The hotel was exceptionally clean, from the lobby bathrooms to the pool area and our room. It was clear that cleanliness is a top priority here. The location was convenient—only about 5 minutes from one rink and 30 minutes from another. While the extra drive time to the farther rink was a consideration, it was absolutely worth it for such a well-kept hotel with friendly and accommodating staff. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable, and their warm hospitality stood out. We’d definitely recommend this hotel to others, especially those traveling for sports tournaments, and we would stay here again.

One thing that got to me.

Great stay. Excellent hotel. One thing that got to me was during our checkout. The person at the desk was using her laptop and completely ignored me when I told her that I was checking out. I had to wait a minute or two before she acknowledged me. Not a friendly person.
