"I recently stayed at the Admiral Inn in Mississauga, ON for three nights on business, and while it wasn't a bad hotel by any means, it doesn't quite live up to the standard set by its nearby competitors.\n\nFirst, and most importantly, the rooms themselves are very clean - or at least mine was. I had a non-smoking room with one king-size bed, and I was generally pleased. Everything looked clean and well maintained, and the room smelled faintly of men's cologne. I think the smell was from some sort of cleaning solution or air freshener that the hotel uses, rather than a past guest, as the smell did not fade at all during my stay. Regardless, it was a pleasant smell, and was faint enough that you only noticed it for a few seconds right as you entered the room.\n\nThe bed was very comfortable, and included 5 large, comfortable pillows. The television was moderately sized, and non-HD, which would have been a negative if I'd have spent more than 15 minutes using it. The bathroom was fairly standard. The shower had decent pressure, and the temperature controls responded quickly.\n\nThe free breakfast was sufficient for my needs, but lacked in variety, as about 2/3 of the offerings were sweets of some kind (donuts, muffins, etc).\n\nThe pool was, for some strange reason, separated from the lobby by only glass walls. I wanted to use the hot tub to unwind after work, but decided not to since I would have felt too exposed and awkward. The fitness center was small, with one each of a treadmill, an elliptical, and a stationary bike, along with an all-in-one weight training machine. Everything seemed to be in working, relatively clean condition, though.\n\nOverall, the Admiral Inn does not have any major flaws or weaknesses, but neither does it have any outstanding strengths, so to me it is very firmly in the 3-star, \"A-OK\" range."^^ .
