Vickie Girolami2 years agoWent to a work holiday party and was pleasantly surprised by this venue. Attached to Hampton Inn made getting there very easy since that's where we stayed. Great buffet that was well labeled for people with various allergies. Our servers were all very friendly. Hope we go back next year.
Geert Megancka year agoAlways a great place for my Industry's Landscape Trade Shows in the early spring. Spacious, great food, very clean bathrooms, and awesome underground parking, especially when the weather is not so good!
Marsha Williams9 months agoI had the opportunity to experience the convention center through an event I was attending. I found the convention to be very clean, from the bathrooms to the main rooms. There is a great view of Parliament. The staff I had interacting with were great.
Wayne Smith2 years agoA perfectly fine hotel that is clean and comfortable. The service and amenities are standard. It is attached to the convention centre and is close to the Via Rail station which is nice. Nothing special but serviceable. The one critique is that for a business hotel, there is a lack of usb and usb-c plugs in the room - so bring your adapters.
J Brown7 months agoGreat facility and lots of parking. Super clean everywhere. One little issue with a rude server, certainly not a guy that should be in customer service profession. Everything else was good.
