Great place to stay!

Had a very nice stay while travelling through the area to the east coast. A perfect stay overnight with our family, our kid loved being able to swim in the pool after a day in the car, and the rooms were clean, comfortable and well kept. Had a fridge and a microwave which was handy while travelling. The restaurant was very accommodating, served us even though they were getting ready to close, so kind!

Great stop to/from QC south shore or Maritimes

Great swimming pool and hot tub and access to the spa at reduced rates. Parking was tight with some rooms having reserved spots and others not. Our room faced the swimming pool, but I wasn’t able to open the patio door so I’m not sure what the point of having it is and it was very dark they could improve on the lighting in the rooms other than that no complaints really.

Good location to stay at Universal.

Check-in was very smooth. Gentleman in the reception was very cordial. Hotel was full of guests, so finding out a parking space was difficult. As of now, the overall cleanliness I find is satisfactory.
