Everything was great, except for the fact that the pool and hot tub were closed for renovation, literally the only reason we chose this place over less expensive places. It would have been nice if the website had mentioned this so we could have booked elsewhere.

This hotel is amazing! High class without a high class price. My room was huge, the view of the sunrise over the town. Walking distance to so many great restaurants and businesses downtown, not to mention the parks and the river. Honestly, this stay have me a new appreciation of Sarnia. And the staff truly went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed, and it felt very genuine. The staff at the front desk when I checked in and checked out, they both deserve recognition. I will surely be staying here again.
