really good stay with fine views

fine view spacious room daily housekeeping

The earnslaw lake view room was pretty good with its fine view. the room was spacious, clean and also quiet. housekeeping was offered daily, a service i appreciate. it was a short walk into the town through the park. I also took a quick uber ride in the evening (around $10).

The bed firmness was a little different from what i am used to. This impacted my sleep quality.

spacious room good facilities street noise ice availability

Our room was very spacious. Good facilities were available for a longer stay like a washing machine and dryer.

The fridge didn't have any ice available. That was a little annoying. the bed was comfy, but i found the room to be quite noisy. i could hear a lot of street noise throughout the night, and it made it hard to sleep.

I booked a two-bedroom suite. Our room was on level 2. The view from our room was ok only. The dryer was really dirty with dust.
