One night in winter
Hotel was great. Breakfast was not the best for coffee. Real milk and cream needs to be available. Sweetener (Splenda, sweet n low…) needs to be available for diabetics to avoid high sugar levels!

Need clear instructions so guests can manage air conditioning. No milk or milk products on site. Restaurant proprietors were gracious but their offerings were not better than average. Prices, however, reflected greater expectations.

Nice Hotel
Hotel was in a nice location. Room was clean and the beds comfy. No breakfast and no coffee provided! There is a restaurant connected to the hotel, but it was closed. The sign stated it opened at 6:00 am , it was still closed at 8:00 am. Starbucks is walking distance. Also other restaurants within walking distance. Walmart and Canadian tire about a 10 minute walk.
