Located near the Trans-Canada Highway, the hotel offers easy access to both the airport and city centre. Several restaurants are within walking distance: Romanos Rustic Italian (0.5 km), Toad N Turtle (0.5 km), and Shark Club Sports Bar & Grill (0.5 km). Buses and rideshares are available for downtown trips. The area is commercial, with grocery stores and Costco nearby. Free on-site parking makes it convenient for car travellers.

Accommodation

All rooms are air-conditioned and include an en suite bathroom, flat-screen cable TV, fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. Select rooms offer mountain views.

Room types include double, quadruple, suite, and family suite (with 1 King, 2 Queen beds, and a sofa bed). Rooms feature laminate flooring and daily housekeeping. Beds receive consistent positive comments for comfort. Some rooms may face the parking lot or road, so light sleepers may prefer a room away from these areas. There are no balconies. Pet-friendly rooms are designated separately; the Deluxe King room is not pet-friendly. The property is a solid choice for airport layovers and budget-conscious travellers.

Dining

On-site dining includes Steels Restaurant serving American cuisine for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner, plus a Lobby Lounge. A complimentary hot breakfast buffet is served daily from 6-10 AM.

The breakfast buffet includes eggs, bacon, hash browns, toast, fruit, oatmeal, and good coffee. While the selection is more limited than upscale hotels (no waffles or pancakes), it provides a satisfying start to the day. Steels Restaurant offers a family-friendly menu for other meals. The Lobby Lounge serves food and beverages until 10 PM. Note that the restaurant is closed on Sundays. Several chain restaurants are within a short walk if needed.

The hotel has a fitness centre and can arrange on-site massage services. There is no pool or spa.

The fitness centre is well-equipped and clean, suitable for a good workout. Massage services are available by appointment. No swimming pool, sauna, or steam room exists on the property. Leisure options are limited to the fitness room and the lounge, making the hotel best suited for business or transit stays rather than a resort experience.
