Convenient location
Underground parking and being close to Foothills Hospital was a perk for this visit. It's easy to get to, and the rooms are spacious and clean. The free breakfast was absolutely awful, we didn't take advantage of it our second day. The weight equipment in the gym didn't work however the treadmills and ellipticals seem to be in good working condition. Friendly staff.

Nov 16, 2024
The room temperature was high, and I couldn't cool down even though I dialed in at 65F. They seemed to keep the temperature for 70 or up, but the blanket was so warm. That said, I felt very hot if I have the blanket on or feeling cold when slept without it. Adjusting the temperature on the thermostat seems not helping. It only allow to bring temperature higher but not lower. I was feeling not right after the first night. Then I got soar throat and headache after the first night and the third night was getting worse. By the way, something weird happened. At midnight the TV was turned on without screen but playing sound only. I have to turn it off manually in the midnight. It happened again on the second night and ruined my sleeping. On the third and fourth night, I have to unplug the power cord to avoid it happened again. 😆

Some garbage left in room when we checked in - problems with garage door led to very congested parking area. Breakfast was good and staff were very helpful

Nice Family Weekend
Really enjoyed our stay here. it is in a great location, close to the train and right accross the street from McMahon Stadium.
The breakfast was good and the beds were comfortable.
The only downside is that the parking is slightly too small for all the hotel guests.

Bring your own cutlery
Everything is good, especially the location is only a stone throw away from the tram station. It would be better if the breakfast room can provide decent or better quality cutlery. Weak plastic knives and forks are not ideal.
