do better RHI
Specified at booking that there were 3 adults. Picked a room with a king bed and a pullout sofa. I asked at check-in where I would find bedding for the pullout sofa. Attendant went to get me an undersheet, top sheet and a blanket the size and thickness of a towel. Said that's all he had and no pillows??? Why advertise a pullout sofa if you don't have appropriate linens and enough pillows for it. The bed in the room had 4 pillows so one was used for the pullout sofa. When putting the undersheet on, it was dirty in a spot and when I touched it, the dirt was crunchy and started to flake off. We put it on inside out instead. I had packed some car snacks that needed refrigeration. When I opened the fridge someone had left a Tim Hortons drink, it was still full, had separated. This was obviously not cleaned up from the previous guests. So gross. No idea how long it had been in there. I've stayed here in the past. It's economical and provides a bed. Don't expect anything more. The breakfast is 3 types of cereal. Some yogurt and very OVERRIPE (unedible) bananas and apples. We arrived, went to bed, got up early and left. Just sleep and leave

It wasn't a terrible stay as it served its purpose, but i booked 2 rooms, months in advance and they were not close to each other. The free breakfast was very very basic....fruit, coffee and muffins. There was no extra bedding available for the sofa bed....in the room or with house keeping

Great place
Never stayed here before but I will return for another stay. The desk clerk was very pleasant and helpful. With the nice weather, we could sit outside on the chairs provided. Little traffic noise in this location. The room was clean and had all we needed. The room was quiet and the beds were comfortable. Support staff arrived in a timely fashion and made up the pull-out bed quickly when it was found we would be using it. There was a continental breakfast- that was adequate.
