fantastic hotel stay

convenient locationbeautiful premisesnice poolside
the location was very convenient as i attended the expo and it was just a short walk to the bmo centre! the hotel also featured beautiful premises and a really nice poolside area. the family loved the room we had and it was perfect for our needs with the kids.
i noticed a minor issue, the showerhead could have used a bit of cleaning because a few jets seemed clogged. the toilet paper holder position felt a little awkward for easy reach, though it wasn't a big deal.

the staff at reception desk was really helpful.
the room was dusty when i checked in, and a housekeeper was also rude to me. i had to change rooms because they hadn't cleaned it well and the tub stopper wouldn't seal. it took a long time when i requested anything at front desk.
