Despite the front of the building not looking at all like a hotel inside was clean and up to date. Game room with pool tables, darts, basketball and a few claw machines were a nice addition too. There’s a restaurant there as well. Room was clean and comfortable, jacuzzi tub was great to relax in while 12 inches of snow fell outside. They were very prompt in cleaning the parking lot and sidewalks. Didn’t even have a problem at 3am when going out for work. Front desk guys was very pleasant. I will be back.

Staff was very courteous. Check-in was quick. I laughed when the front desk staff asked me if I was on my way to Florida or from Florida. Seems most, if not all Canadians, who stay at their hotel are en-route to or from Florida. For someone who is a light sleeper this hotel may not be the most ideal as there are trains that passed through several times during the night
