Fantastic location within walking distance to the downtown. There’s also a free bus service which will take you all places in the town. The hotel is very good and we received an upgrade to a suite which was nice. The staff are really friendly and happy to assist you. Happy hour and Pasta Monday are a must.I would definitely recommend this hotel and will be returning in the near future.

This was our favourite hotel we stayed at while on our honeymoon travelling from Ontario. Room was very cozy and clean, bathroom was HUGE with a walk in shower and big tub. The price was impressive considering surrounding other properties. Staff was very friendly and helpful . We had breakfast at the onsite restaurant which was equally impressive. 100% would stay here again and recommend!
