Stayed for 3 nights and mostly just used it as base camp for a fishing trip. Cant really say it was an amazing place but the rooms were clean, air conditioned, and had a nice washroom. The decor is a little outdated which seems to be on purpose but it does need a little updating. The elevator closes a little even if you stand in front of the door and the parking lot was blocked at one end by a truck. Also, the parkade gate is manually operated meaning you have to get out your car to open it.

We had a nice experience on in all. I like how the facade of the hotel looks like. The chandeliers and display were so pretty. Looks like a mansion. They have a welcoming dog which is so okay.
However, entering the room is not so welcoming. Very dark. There are dusts everywhere looks like it wasn't cleaned at all. Uneven floor surface. The walls of the room and elevator had some splashed or drip marks, looks like haven't been wiped for a long time. Bathroom had some molds, too. If you do not mind this things then you are okay.

Absolutely the worst. Says no smoking, yet the rooms smell of smoke and burn marks in the carpet. A rock is more comfortable than the beds. They spent all the money into the lobby and none in the rooms.
