The staff were amazing!! Always friendly and helpful. Cannot fault them at all - thank you to all of the staff. Management - please buy new bedding!!! All of the sheets and covers had MULTIPLE holes in them (both beds), carpets were sticky and stained (maybe a good clean?!?), paper plates and plastic cutlery for breakfast buffet - not acceptable, breakfast every single morning (with the exception of Labour Day morning as it was a different staff member) was cold!!! Every single morning for 6 days all the “hot” food was cold cause the covers were left up ALL the time by the cook. The key cards didn’t work in the locks (had to replace once and never worked first go - laundry was minimum 5 goes every time). Apart from the staff (who were amazing), DO NOT recommend staying here. Very outdated, needs upgrading and a good “spring clean”.
