Excellent value and good service

3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 8 Jul 2023
Great proximity to the centre of town and festivities in the river. Good breakfast and coffee available during the day. Microwave and coffee machine in room. The room had windows you could open so that you could get some fresh air.

Reviewed 19 June 2023

The lady at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. She made us aware of the local events and gave us a flyer listing local restaurants with directions. Only one of three elevators was in service as the other two were being "renovated." There was a black sticker on one of the elevator buttons with an accompanying note that stated: Don't press this button or the elevator will become stuck. Did not feel safe in the elevator. At 4 am we were awakened on the 8th floor by a group of what appeared to be several homeless folks confronting the person that was watching over the hotel parking lot. There was a lot of screaming and threatening behavior. I don't feel safe here

Although the hotel was still undergoing renovations in some parts of the hotel, it was clean and tidy throughout the room and facilities. Staff were super helpful and breakfast was great as with all the BW to date. A+++

Elevators didn’t work. Tub didn’t drain. Toilet didn’t want to flush. Charged us 200 for a pvc pipe they claim we took😂 Hung up on us when questioned about charge. Blood and hair on bathroom floor. Old water bottle next to the bed. Breakfast was less than average.

My family and I had a very comfortable experience with this hotel. As an elite rewards member, I felt especially taken care of with a nice goody bag upon checkin. It’s the small details that really put BW ahead of other brands!
