This hotel is super old and outdated. Cleaning isn't the best. Stains on the lampshades, walls, ceiling. Room looks nothing like the photos they use. There were no bugs or anything but it's not a nice hotel. Only reason I booked this hotel is because of the dining options across the parking lot. Getting towels for the pool and extras for our room was very hard to do. It seemed like the staff didn't want to give us any. Also pool closes at 9pm so that sucks as well. I wouldn't go out of my way to stay here again. It's passable but barely

Very convenient to 401 and Great Lakes Wtrfr Trail

Elevator was down and we were bike packing, fortunately they were able to accommodate a lower room so only had to carry them one flight. Otherwise everything else was great.
