The hotel provided a solid experience for our family getaway, with friendly staff and a comfortable stay. The proximity to the Granby Zoo is fantastic, making it an ideal choice for those visiting the area. While the rooms were clean and adequate, they were a bit on the small side for our needs. The dining options were pleasant, although we had some limitations due to child policies at the bar. Overall, it's good value for money, but there are areas for improvement, particularly with space and room amenities.
