Hockey roadtrip with friends

For the price, not bad. My wife and I went with a bunch of friends to watch a hockey game. The hotel is less then 3 blocks from the hotel, well within walking distance. Easy access to a number of food locations, again within walking distance. The restaurant attached to the hotel was somewhat small, but it served some rather good food. Only three bad things. First, the pool was smaller than any hotel pool I've ever seen, and there was nothing but the pool. Second, the "game room" was six arcade games that you could find in most bowling alley lobbies sitting outside the pool. Third, while the beds and bedding were rather comfortable, the pillows were so large that my wife and I woke up the next morning with sore necks and backs.

Hockey roadtrip with friends

For the price, not bad at all. Went with a bunch of friends to an NHL hockey game. The stadium is less than 3 blocks away, well within walking distance. The restaurant attached to the hotel serves some pretty good food. If you're looking to get out of the hotel, there are plenty of things nearby. Three down sides. First, the pool is probably smaller than any Super 8 or Comfort Inn that I've ever been to and there is nothing but the pool. Second, their "game room" is six arcade games that you can find in a bowling alley lobby. Third, the pillows were big and soft, but so big that my wife and I both woke up the next morning with sore necks.

Business stay

The beds were very comfy, the towels were actually towels - white and fluffy! The cleaning stafff was very helpful :) Very happy and will stay there again! The only problem was that we reserved a room with a king size bed,. The hotel told me that it was listed as a double bed room through [...]. I had my reservation sheet for confirmation, but I still got stuck with the 2 double bed room.
