Good hotel. The view of Chocolate Lake is calming. We like the convenience of a drive up room with two special needs children. All the staff are friendly and welcoming. Breakfast is good.

Overall Score3.0/ 5
Room very clean and staff friendly. But at arrival after a hectic day of shopping and activities, there were no parking spaces available as there was a party at the hotel. No designated parking so anyone has first come first serve to parking. Very frustrating. Luckily the clerk at the front desk offered his parkingaftdr his manager offered hers in the front entrance but my room was in the back. Lack of information on the website to advise paid lodgers that no parking available if there's an event there. Some people had parked on the lawn. Lots of noise in the parking caused by those who attended the party left at 11 pm. Also the children stop my room had been constantly jumping from 8 12 pm. No quiet standards as sports team were noisy in the hallway and rooms above. The parking incident was enough for me and I will never stay there again.
