We stayed on the forth floor and its wasn’t to bad. There was no microwave and we waited 3 days to get a phone cord for the phone in the room. Friends of ours stayed on the third floor and it smelled so bad. Staff were friendly! Won’t stay there again.

We’re in the lower level (1) and it was beat down. Very dirty feeling. Put us with all hockey teams but didn’t address the children running around screaming after I ask for them to address it. Just looked shocked someone would ask that. It was well after 10pm and doesn’t seem normal for children to be yelling and banging through the halls. Just cause I had a child with me doesn’t me I want to be by the hockey teams. Hotel is in rough shape. Needs a renovation on some floors. Main lobby is clean. Nice pool. And my daughter loved the slide.
