Travel Information: COVID‐19 Update

Like many in the hotel industry, the impact of COVID-19 has forced us to make the difficult decision to temporarily suspend operations at the Merit Hotel & Suites and Franklin Suite Hotel.

We know that Public Health, the Government of Canada and everyone around the globe is working very hard to “flatten the curve,” and feel it is our responsibility to do our part. We recognize the inconvenience this may cause; and genuinely appreciate your understanding during this time of global concern.

If you have an existing reservation, please contact 1-866-650-3678 so we may assist you in making alternative arrangements at our sister properties.

We look forward to welcoming you in the future.
