Fast and friendly check-in, all interactions with staff were great. Room was very spacious and clean. My only issue was the cold wind blowing in under the large gap at the bottom of the door - straight to the 'work station'.

Location great, clean and tidy. Comfortable bed.Husband is a light sleeper so found the noisy trucks going by at 5 in the morning annoying.

4/10 Fair

We did not get the room with a spa we booked instead we had a disability’s room with no spa. When you turned on the heat pump it had a stick like cigarettes. I rate this as poor and I would hope there is some compensation for what room we ended up with on Expedia as it was nothing like what we booked.

This is the 3rd time I’ve stayed at the Hobson. The rooms are a little outdated but everything you need is there. The area around the pool is nice. There is laundry on site which was convenient for me. It’s close enough to the shops that you can easily walk downtown. The staff are excellent; friendly & helpful.
