Nice Hotel
Hotel was in a nice location. Room was clean and the beds comfy. No breakfast and no coffee provided! There is a restaurant connected to the hotel, but it was closed. The sign stated it opened at 6:00 am , it was still closed at 8:00 am. Starbucks is walking distance. Also other restaurants within walking distance. Walmart and Canadian tire about a 10 minute walk.

Unfriendly Front Desk staff
The customer service was terrible. We booked for 5 people and there were no blanket or sheets for the fifth person. And when we asked for them, instead of providing the front desk staff asking us “are you sure there were not enough blankets?” and she called someone and kept talking on the phone while we were standing to get what we need. We left after waiting without getting anything. We are not the only one who was misbehaved, we observed earlier that she was talking rudely to another customer.
