Our Hotel Room If you are looking for a nice hotel, close to amenities at a reasonable price, you owe it to yourself to check out the Holiday Inn Westbank.  We stayed for 5 nights including the May long weekend and it was clean, quiet and close to restaurants.  In the lobby is a Fog & Suds, and there is a Boston Pizza in the same parking lot, while a host of other restaurants are just a short drive away.  There is an indoor-outdoor salt-water pool and separate hot tub on the second level.  We stayed in the standard room with one king sized bed and a couch (which also pulls out to a bed) for $139/night, a very reasonable price for the overall quality of the hotel.

Would we stay there again?  We did, just a few weeks later!
