The host was very friendly , nice and easy to deal with. The property location is easy to find and haze the parking right in front of the door. Checking in was easy-peasy as Sam can handle it oven if he is not on the premises.

Outdated, burnt out light bulb, loose electrical outlet. Friendly staff when they were available. Despite this, it is a place to lay your head for the night.

It’s not fancy but the sheets and room were clean. It’s a very budget friendly alternative to the bigger hotels.

Megan

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This might be the oldest, most crumbling, falling apart motel I’ve ever stayed at. The bed and bathroom were surprisingly clean and the man at the front desk was very friendly, but wow, the place is in rough shape. Paint peeling from the walls, stained furniture, sagging mattress, dust and dirt. Fine location for getting on and off the transcanada hwy, and certainly wouldn’t choose to stay here for anything other than a quick nights sleep.

Comfy beds and a relatively quiet location. Very clean but needs a new tub/shower as the finish is very worn. I will stay here again on my next trip across Canada.

An OK place when you just need a bed for the night

The place is really in need of renovations but it was an ok place to stay for a night when passing through. Really appreciated that they were able to provide a very late checkin (almost 2:00 am). Beds were comfortable.

Front desk was good and had no issues with check-in. The room was cleaned properly and had cigarette smell. We reported about the smell and got different room and that does not had cigarette smell but the bathroom was not good. Also the towels, bed spread and pillow case was not good. Found insects inside the room. Overall it was very upsetting experience.
