Super helpful and friendly staff! The hotel and grounds were immaculate. A little off the beaten path, which made the stay very quiet.

A few little issues
Great location, clean, and good breakfast. The service was a little slow this time, also rooming missing soaps, and a curtain was hanging down. All in all pretty good!

This is a bare bones property, meaning it has the very basics, but no frills. For instance, there was a mini fridge but no coffee pot in the room. The bed was very comfortable and the room and bath sparkling clean. The pool is small and the free breakfast was typical of most hotels. The grounds were convenient for those of us traveling with pets which I appreciated. The location is easy access to the university and major highways, but set off far enough that noise was not a problem.

Older building that has been “refreshed”. Room smelled musty and could tell it was a smoking room at one time. Windows older and can hear a person cough outside .
Staff was very friendly and helpful.

The overall hotel was great. The air conditioner in the halls was horrible. It was so hot in the hall and elevator. That’s not a good experience. Also they limit tye control you have on air conditioning in the room. I’m in the a/c business. Those units run on a higher speed but hotels limit that. It’s also to small of a unit for the size room we had.

Great start
Room was clean. Service was good. Communication barrier with non-English speaking breakfast staff resulted in a wait for supplies like silverware to be restocked. Surrounding view is storage facilities and not attractive, but the hotel itself is nice and appears new. Hotel was 10 minutes drive to U of A and our activities.
