    It's the first place on the left when you come into town. I've always wanted to stay there.

    i had a business trip down there last year and stayed at the hotel, the view and location is nice (right on the lake) but the lack of technology was a real pain in the ass, especially when i had to get work done

    no phone, internet or tv in the rooms and only a shared place that you had to pay for to use anything

    the room was very spacious though which was nice and the bed was very comfortable

    i think the only thing i didn't like were some of the people, when i went to eat they wouldn't stop staring at me, it's like they have never seen someone outside their community before??

    What kind of journalist writes an entire article about a place with no mention of where it is? Where's Waterton?

    Or assumes you didn't grow up 6500 kilometres from here. Do you know where Conception Bay South is? I got it now though, thanks.
