The pool and courtyard was remarkable, the water was both delightfully clean AND not irritating to the eyes. As can be understood there is rust on the metal, but don't forget it is an enclosed pool courtyard in Regina and 7 months of the year are too cold to open the space to the outdoors. However, unlike other newer Hotels with pools the courtyard is very large and tall, so even with children running around, playing and splashing it is quiet enough for conversations.
The building is concrete, so rooms are incredibly quiet. It is being renovated, so I assume it will be updated, though that is never a serious concern.....although having USB charging ports in the rooms would/will be a plus.
