Good stay
We enjoyed our stay. It is in a central location. The rooms are a good size. We like parking outside our room. The bed was quite comfortable.

Was close to venues and considering it was so close you didn’t hear the noises from outside 😊
Lana, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Overall, a decent but not great place. Staff Bugsy n reception were helpful. Cleanliness was lacking, and bugs got in the room.

Everything
ayach, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

Clean enough. The only form of heat was an old wooden space heater that looked like it was from the 80’s, bedding was old and ratty, could hear people arguing and talking all night.
Mandy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The best thing about this property and my stay was the bed. I had the best night of sleep for three nights in a row. The second best thing is the staff and friendliness of the people that work at this hotel. My only complaint was the quality of the Internet. Kept cutting in and out it made it difficult for me to get some work done.
Kathleen, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good value for an overnight
A good standard motel room at a good price. One nice extra feature: a second sink outside the bathroom. We only stayed one night, so we didn't need to make use of the drawers and shelves, but we noticed there was lots of storage space provided. Although the room was generally clean, there was a bit of dust in one of the front corners. It was a 30-40 minute walk downtown: acceptable for this time of year, but maybe not in winter.
Melville, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Nice room, uncomfortable bed.
Bed was not comfortable and they only have a sheet on the bed. Their is comforters in the closet but who knows how long they been in there.
Christopher, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Heating was a space heater. Parking lot was slippery, had to use 4X4 to get to the parking spot. Our friends had a nicer room. Baseboard heat, a closet and a sink in the bathroom (ours was outside of the bathroom). Maybe they are upgrading and haven’t done the building we were in?
Cynthia, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It smells awful
TAIGA, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This hotel was exactly as advertised and rooms matched the hotel's pics etc. It was clean and better than I expected. It's clearly an older hotel and older building etc, but we were in town for a concert and it met our needs for the trip. One small thing: after the concert we came back and needed some more ice but couldn't access the ice machine because the office was closed. It would have been nicer to have access to an ice machine/ vending machine after office hours.
Kelly, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

This was our second stay at this motel. Not a good experience this time. Problems with the lights, tv and heating in the room. Very poor night's sleep.
