The hotel has high ceilings in the rooms which are very clean and quite large. Despite the challenge of closed roads around the hotel for first-time visitors to Kitchener, the accommodations include a bed, hardwood floors, a TV, and a desk with an office chair underneath. There was a need for a bit of maintenance in the bathroom ceiling.
