"Room was clean, but little too hot, had to open window to cool the room. Bed was also little too hard for me, but was great for my husband. Breakfast was good, it had eggs, meat, potatoes, and also waffle maker for fresh waffles. It would have been great if they had decaf coffe, as only regular coffee was brewed for breakfast."

"The bed was fine, as was the bathroom, but it was a dreary and depressing place, unattractive rooms and the carpet I don’t want to even think about. Also, no in room safe and a very loud radiator spewing cold air. The surrounding area was not nice. On a brief walk I saw mostly intoxicated and/or disturbed people. I would not stay here again. "

"Great breakfast options. Staff was nice and helpful. Parking was easy."

"The rooms have been renovated recently and it was nice. The entire staff was very helpful and amazing to talk with. Extremely friendly"

"Quiet area, staff was very friendly and helpful, lots of options on what to watch on the TV, and breakfast every morning. Second time staying here, and it is still the best option in my opinion."

"The room is very nice and spacious, but the TV was not watchable (very bad streaming, on every channel) and at noon time there was no hot water to shower, you would have to wait until later in the afternoon. As to the property, the convenience store/coffee shop was closed for renovation the entire time we were there, and the only open restaurant post-breakfast had no creamer for the coffee. One of the reasons I booked this hotel was because it was supposed to have these amenities, we did not rent a car and since we were staying up late each night to go for Aurora excursions we missed breakfast and wanted coffee at later time. I had to DoorDash coffee every day and even a few other items that the convenience store would have had. Otherwise, nice and clean room and property in general, I would stay again if these other things were to work. "

"Room was nice and clean. Staff was friendly when I checked in. The property looked pretty shabby, and honestly there was dog poop everywhere. I get it, its frozen, but still. Also, I thought there was free breakfast, according to when I booked it, and I never heard about it, smelled it and could find it. Overall, location was convenient, room was nice enough, but I would go somewhere else."

"I was asked to make a security deposit once I arrived. $150 dollar expense I wasn’t expecting. The bed frame was broken and the HVAC shook when it came on making a lot of noise. I don’t know if it’s normal or not but there also was not a mattress protector on the bed just a really thin see through fitted sheet. Other than that the breakfast was really good, the shower was hot with wonderful pressure. The shuttle was quick and nice people. Probably won’t book them again though. "

"Great location. "
