Spark by Hilton Oshawa
Great value for a clean hotel. Staff was excellent from check in to check out. Property has been nicely renovated. For being so close to the highway it was very quiet. I would stay here again. Travelled with teenage daughter for sport tournament.

Great Blue Heron Hotel
Stay overall is always good. Just seem to find hair in the bathroom, put down the bath mat and two long black hairs were on it. Definitely not mine….that said, I enjoy the convenience of it. I do wish they would have coffee in the rooms though.
