This is a nice hotel, its not as modern as others in the area but i love that about it. The only thing i think could be looked into are the windows, i found them to be quite drafty, the bathroom was particularly cold becasue of this.

My kids always enjoy staying here. It is cinvient to park at the NAC to acess the canal. We enjou that the rooms are comfortable and private. We enjoy watching pedestians on the sidewalk from the pool and hut tub, and the fact that the pool and gym are in close proximity is convenient for parents.
