Trade Market was a disappointment
The entire expo was great and we would definitely go back. The only thing I did not like was that I had a fever and had to buy Advil from their “Trade Market shop”. Normally I bring it with me. They charged us $18 for a small bottle of Advil. That bottle is about $6-$7 in stores. I found that a major ripoff. I’d still go to stay there but bring my own Advil or go to the town to buy anything I need.

Lots of potential for this hotel. We had two main problems. One was a very bad smell which permeated from the lobby to the second floor where our room was, similar to a septic system backing up into a basement. The other was a rather loud convention taking place, when the convention guests were talking loudly outside our room (which was situated near the elevators) quite late at night (guessing about midnight). Tip: Ask for a room far from the elevators and lobby,

For the price the rooms are very old and tired. My room smelled like a damp musty basement. Issues with shower. Management ignored my complaint and I never did hear back from them.

Lovely old resort with good size bedroom but only queen beds available at booking. The toilet didn’t work as well as it should but staff was concerned about giving it.
The excellent amenities (tennis, SUP, kayak, shuffleboard) all included in your price. The pool was great with a large hot tub and ample lounge & chair seating.
Gas fire pits available for outdoor night seating
We had a lovely stay

One morning we had orange juice and went back for another and it was Tang yuk!
The walkway to the front door is uneven which makes luggage fall from the cart
The water in the shower cannot rinse out shampoo properly
Other than that it was amazing
Thank you
