Horrible Experience

I stayed at the hotel with my husband this past week-end. We were attending a friend's wedding and decided to stay in Oshawa overnight.
The entrance was not shoveled and very icy. It made it very difficult to walk up the stairs with the luggage. There was gentleman outside smoking that was looking at me as I struggled to go... more

Comfortable bed in a quiet and well insonorated hotel. Staff is great and very helpfull. I've been traveling for six weeks across Canada and Mainly USA utilising various hotel chain. All in all, Best Western chain gives, by far, the best quality/price ratio.

Not sure where to start
November 23, 2012

This hotel had prices listed at $400+/night when I started shopping online ... the whole time I'm thinking $400 Best Western? Don't get me started on scam being run by Priceline, Booking.com, etc...
Anyway, found the best price by calling the hotel directly and paid $121 even though www.Best Western,com had the room listed at $119 ...

Needs an Upgrade
October 18, 2012

This hotel has only one thing going for it -- the breakfasts. There is no view. It is surrounded by commercial properties, the 401 highway, train tracks, the General Motors plant and a series of industrial park buildings.
The building is dated. It needs an upgrade.
Having said all that, the staff were very friendly. The rooms were okay. But... more

GROSS!! Horrible experience, my business requires me to stay at many hotels and I've never run into an issue like this before. Sometimes problems can be turned around and the guest can leave pleased but the front desk agent in both the morning and the evening showed no empathy. I will never return.

The lobby is dingy and run down; the breakfast is better than nothing, but the hot choices looked kind of unpleasant.

But the bed was comfortable, the bathroom was clean and the location close to the GO station was what I needed. Definitely... more

Front desk staff untrained in simple tasks such as splitting hotel bill onto 2 credit cards. Lack of knowledge of the area. Totally unprofessional. Air conditioner in room not working.

There was nothing attractive or inviting in entering the motel. The pavement was cracked and the carpet on the steps was dirty. The tub mat and the shower curtain had mold on them. There were stains on the carpet. The positive things were that the bed was clean and comfortable and the AC worked. The breakfast was good, but there was no AC in that room and it was uncomfortably hot. We... more

Pleasant surprise
July 26, 2009

We were in town visiting family. The hotel was clean, in a location near malls & shopping, and was right off the exit. We just stayed one night so we didnt get to experience the breakfast or exercise room but both appeared to be of good quality. Just the fact that the hotel was clean and recently renovated was what made it a very nice stay.
